Hi Willy, Basically needs more developer effort to get it working well on hppa. Unfortunately I've been too busy lately and have dedicated the time I did have to d-i for ia64. You need to build on unstable, and I iirc the QM_MODULES thing was a glibc or kernel headers issue. I have built it for hppa in the past, and had some success installing on a B180. There was also an issue with mklibs reducing libm to (nearly) nothing, and that breaking glibc. Carlos fixed glibc, but I don't know if his fix is in debian unstable. I had a hack to mklibs to work round it.
Recently I saw a mail saying anna changes means d-i only works with di-kernel-image based kernels now, and I don't think hppa is there yet.
