Comments/Problems:
(I have already installed debian with d-i beta3 on this machine.)
I booted on the CD with 20040611 image. I tried the following boot options:
install-2.6, install-powerpc-2.6, expert-powerpc-2.6. All of them stops
at the same point during booting with the following message:
[...]
Freeing unused kernel memory: [...]
Setting up filesystem, please wait...
umount: /initrd: Invalid argument
cp: unable to link `/mnt/usr/share/discover/usb.lst': Operation not permitted
cp: unable to link `/mnt/var/log/messages': Operation not permitted
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init'.
<0> Rebooting in 180 seconds..
I see on http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/doc/TODO
that "2.6 support... sid_d-i works on powerpc, at least newworld."
Thank you,
Eugen
