Hello, I am searching for testers for the new 2.4.22-2 serie of kernel packages before uploading them to the archive, and potentially breaking lot of stuff.
They can be found at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.22 And i would like for two kind of tests : 1) please people using the different subarches, install the kernel-images, and try booting them. Carefull, they are no more called vmlinux-2.4.22-powerpc, but vmlinu[xz]-2.4.22-powerpc-(pmac|chrp|chrp-rs6k|prep). 2) If these could be used to build a set of powerpc debian-installer images that people could test on the different subarches, it would be real nice. Remaining problems : 1) Each kernel image still has a 8Mo or such copy of the modules. I wanted to separate them, but Manoj tells me this is not possible so near the sarge release, since it requires modifications of kernel-package, so it will be for later. 2) I am not sure about the miboot kernel image, there is a miboot.image in arch/ppc/boot/images, but i am being told that just gziping the standard vmlinux would do also. 3) There may be circular dependency problems in building the debian-installer on arches that need the initrd built-in the kernel. Not sure if debian-installer can be built before the kernel is. Anyway, please test and give feedback, before i upload, so we can have all these powerpc subarches supported by debian-installer and debian as of the sarge release.
