in /var/log, but i suppose they get erased after the install, not sure, look at your /root dir maybe. > > > The kernel installed seems to be a 32 bits one. > > > > Can you give us the output of : > > > > dpkg -l | grep linux-image > Too late, I have already clean the /boot to only left remaining the > linux-2.6-powerpc64 one.

I would believe there is a bug in the SMP detection, as the powerpc64 kernel flavour is -smp, and this has been the case since 2.6.15. I have the feeling that it searches for a powerpc64-smp, and not finding it, it falls back to the powerpc-smp, but i don't know why, i thought i fixed the this long ago, and naturally now i cannot do it easily anymore. > > > Reboot with the install CD + chroot to /target + apt-get install > > > linux-image-2.6-powerpc64 + ybin solved the problem. > > > > This should not be the case, i suggest you file a formal installation report > > against the base-installer package. > Can you remember me where I should fill it ? # apt-get install reportbug $ reportbug base-installer follow instructions. Another thing to do is to file an installation report, and use : http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug > Sorry to only give a such bad report... No problem, it is just that some important d-i folk have decided to exlude me, and thus have me killfilled, and since they don't read debian-powerpc, any mail i forward as i used to do just gets lost.
