Hi I've already reported this problem with bf-3.0.19 to both of these lists. On linux-apus-devel I was told this would be a kernel issue, but on debian-boot, Chris told me it would be a dbootsrap issue and should be fixed.
Today I've downloaded the root.bin from http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/3.0.21-2002-03-13/apus/images-1.44/ Adam built and replaced the 3.0.19 root.bin in the apus/images-1.44/ folder with the new one. Still using the 2.4.17 apus kernel. But, unlucky me, nothings seems to have changed, the bug still appears, and so I still can't Initialize a Linux partition. I've quoted myself in the following lines just to give a short overview over the problem itself: > [First thing is,] that it is not possible to execute the point "Initialize a > Linux Partition". After selecting this point in the menu, the screen goes > white, and the installer system restarts! > > On console 3 I could read: > > Mar 3 ... (none) user.info init: Process '/sbin/udbootstrap' (pid 140) exited. >Scheduling it for restart > > Mar 3 ... (none) user.info init: Starting pid 146, console /dev/console: >'/sbin/udbootstrap' Here I have to say that it now also didn't want to work with a virgin disk without an already valid root partition (but of course already partitioned from the AmigaOS side). I wonder about this, because the 'Initialize..' part worked perfectly well with an 2.4.9 apus kernel (but this isn't much use to me, as 2.4.9 doesn't support dhcp, and so I can't install the rest of the system after the reboot *snif*). I hope you can see my dilemma: kernel 2.4.9 is the only one which supports my NIC and I can 'Initialize...', but it doesn't support DHCP. 2.4.17 does support my NIC and DHCP, but I can't 'Initialize...'.. ps: Why are the driver-1.bin and rescue.bin files in .../apus/images-1.44/ still built, although they doesn't seem to be needed? pps: Does the new color of the selection bar really have to be red? It gives a very bad contrast with the underlying text. Lucky me I've already tried to install debian that much that I can recall the selection lines from my mind. And oh, concerning the ongoing 'malformed release file' discussion: I very often got this message in the last few weeks (when I've been trying to install with other kernels than 2.4.17, but, as I said, no success with them, because of the lacking dhcp support..)!! -- Thanks for any idea, kind regards, Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
