Newer iseries (those using the power5 processor and are just disguised pseries as i understand) are supported. Older iseries are currently not, but mostly because i lacked someone with access to the hardware which would help us fine-tune the configuration files. I will do a powerpc64-legacy flavours for those machines once someone interested in it shows up, and i guess you qualify :) Do you have a recent kernel running on such hardware, and if so can you send us the .config options used for it ? I will try to get it in 2.6.14-3 in unstable, and debian-installer beta2 should have support for it, but not the upcoming beta1. Oh, and we also need help debugging debian-installer for this hardware. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
