Comments/Problems:
First of all: the new debian installer (and sarge) rocks! this machine is too
slow but I also tried d-i on an athlon1600, whoowhoo. Great work everyone
involved!!
Yesterday I was pointed to these floppy images
http://sprite.fr.eu.org/d-i-oldworld/floppy/, (how) are they different from
the ones avaible here:
http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/current/powerpc-small/floppy/
?
Installing sarge yesterday failed with the adduser-package not avaible for
download. (which wasn't true, obviously.) after that the installer wasn't
able to download a release-file, too. until I reconfigured the network (with
dhcp as before)). very strange.
So I tried to install sarge from cd (with cd-drivers.img) and also unstable
via network, the results were the same as trying to install sarge from net
(with net-drivers.img) today:
Base systems installs ok until it reaches around 70% then it fails complaining
that I try to install an initrd-kernel....
---begin_bla-----------------
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version
2.4.25-powerpc-small)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).
I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader -- please read your
bootloader documentation for details on how to add initrd images.
If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message,
please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you'll continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]n
---end_bla-----------------
So I installed kernel-images manuelly, called "quikconfig", edited
/etc/quik.conf so it looks like this:
---begin_bla-----------------
#root=/dev/hda2
# Generated by quikconfig
# (C) 1998 Matt McLean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# partition=3
# map=/boot/map
timeout=20
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small
label=Linux
read-only
append = " initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-powerpc-small video=atyfb"
# don't know & care now, if the video-option is neccessary here...
---end_bla-----------------
and set openfirmware like this:
nvsetenv boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
nvsetenv input-device kbd
nvsetenv output-device screen
nvsetenv boot-file "/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small video=atyfb
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-powerpc-small"
Booting the systems gets the following error: "VFS: Cannot open root device ""
or 08:01"
bla bla rebooting in 180seconds.
(These settings do work on woody, but I only used them without "initrd=" and
with "root="...)
regards,
Holger

Hi,
the issues described in the bugreport have been dealt with. The
kernel-packages get installed with no problem. The remaining issue, quik
needs initrd-support, has been solved as well, although the new version of
quik has not been uploaded by now. But there are other bugs dealing with
this, so I'll close the bug.
regards,
Holger
