I've noticed that it is problematic in my case only, because the debian installer doesn't use a SMP based kernel (yet?). Anyway here's a typical output of cat /proc/cpuinfo: 8<---- processor : 0 cpu : POWER4+ (gq) clock : 1452.000000MHz revision : 2.1 processor : 1 cpu : POWER4+ (gq) clock : 1452.000000MHz revision : 2.1 timebase : 181495702 machine : CHRP IBM,7029-6E3 8<---- Since the pseries stuff will obviously not be target for sarge - am I allowed to prepare the chrp_pseries special handlings in some of the installer modules? Should I add the partman-prep package in svn now without generating any problems? It only gets installed on the chrp_pseries subarch, which is not yet detected by archdetect.
