Judging from the size of /dev/hda3, this is the df-on->=100GB problem, fixed in trunk by Martin Michlmayr but not released. I've just uploaded yaboot-installer 0.0.26 containing this fix; a test install in a few days would be appreciated, as my PowerBook doesn't have a disk big enough to test this myself. > * want proper hd-media installer image I can't remember if we talked about this on IRC, but how about the netboot images? All you need to add to that is a suitable yaboot and yaboot.conf. > * RAID1 is hopeless I've never tried it. What's broken? > * want SMP kernels at install time Can you send me your /proc/cpuinfo? The main problem with this is that it will stress the already enormously full powerpc CD #1 even further. In order to be able to omit -smp kernels from CD #1, we'll need a good fallback mechanism which doesn't fall over (e.g. install apus kernels by mistake) when confronted with subarchitectures, which I think means that I need to finish off my base-installer rewrite. > * ugh, this is distressing. d-i created a swap partition but did not > construct /etc/fstab such that it would be mounted (the swap > partition did not appear at all). partman-basicfilesystems/fstab.d/basic *looks* right ... perhaps you could send /var/log/debian-installer/syslog to the cloned bug? It should have a dump of the partition table somewhere in it. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
