Package: installation-reports I tried Wheezy beta2 installer netboot image on a Sparc T1000 server (there is no other way to boot installer on this machine) using console on the ethernet management port. Installation went ok apart from two minor issues:
1. During the initial boot the following messages appear on the screen: udevd[51]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices': No such file or directory udevd[54]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-0-0': No such file or directory udevd[55]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/ds-1': No such file or directory udevd[53]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/ds-0': No such file or directory udevd[56]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-0-1': No such file or directory udevd[57]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-0-2': No such file or directory udevd[61]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-1-0': No such file or directory udevd[62]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-3-8': No such file or directory udevd[63]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/vio_type' 'vio_type --export /devices/channel-devices/vldc-port-3-0': No such file or directory This problem appears to be specific to installer's initrd, because I don't see these messages on post-installation reboots. 2. Before the network configuration step the installer prompts to load tg3 firmware from removable medium. It would be a problem, because machine does not have any USB ports, but it turned out that the ethernet cards are functional even without the firmware. Thus, all you need to do is decline the firmware loading step and the installation proceeds normally. According to dmesg, the cards are identified as "Tigon3 [partno(BCM95714) rev 9001] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit)" (machine has 4 of them installed). It might be worth mentioning in the installation manual that even though some cards may indicate that they require firmware, it may be optional for their operation.
