The pre-rc2 netinstall image is still broken for hppa. I repeated my previous attempt on a slightly different machine. This one was a B132L+ instead of a 700, and it had a different CD-ROM in it, and less memory. It made no difference. The installer still hangs on coreutils. The only visible difference on tty1 was that it was stuck at 8% instead of 9%.
ps auxw (on tty2) gives this (modulo whitespace; I wrote it down on paper because there's no ssh, no telnet, no ftp, no ping in the installer): PID Uid VmSize Stat Command 17309 root 432 D cp /cdrom/pool/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_5.2.1-2_hppa.deb /target/var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_5.2.1-2_hppa.deb The file is partially copied: -r--r--r-- 1 root root 335872 Oct 19 17:28 coreutils_5.2.1-2_hppa.deb Compared to the original on the CD-ROM: -r--r--r-- 6 root root 2778648 Jul 16 14:17 coreutils_5.2.1-2_hppa.deb I attempted to run "wc /cdrom/pool/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_5.2.1-2_hppa.deb" to see whether it could actually read the file. The wc process hung, and could not be interrupted by ^C, DEL, ^\ or ^Z. At that point, I powered off. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
