I just wanted to remind you of yaboot CD booting issue I described in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/05/msg00772.html It's still there in recent D-I daily builds and is valid for recent and older IBM CHRPs: 7043-150 (604) 7044-270 (POWER3) 9131-52a (POWER5+) a local rebuild yaboot binary successfully boots from CD. Re-uploading yaboot should help fixing this issue. thanks. - Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
