Package: debian-installer Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
boot.img for sarge on powerpc doesn't boot, no matter what i do, what date i get it from (there's a 20041118/ dir on the site, tried those, doesn't want to boot either). i've tried both 2.4 and 2.6 floppies, any machine i stick it in spits it back out without any warning and pops up a floppy picture with a big X in it. i've tried it with several downloads and several floppies, all known good, and they just don't boot, no matter what i do. the bootx option is not possible at this point in time as i have no bin to store the drive with mock os on it anywhere, and i shouldn't have to do this on a known otherwise working machine with sarge on it, with a dead battery, and the other a sid install, been running since late 2002 (potato->woody). i'm trying to rescue these 2 ppc oldworld macs, and without a working boot.img, i cannot rescue them at all. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1000, 'unstable'), (998, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-p3 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
