Screenshots attached. (Both are after selecting install, expert or rescue.) The dailys fail with: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data Invalid compressed format (err=1) No filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount roos fs on unknown-block(1,0) I'm not making this serious atm, as I have seen beta3 booting successfully on a g4 powerbook... BTW, booting fails slightly different, after uprading a sarge system to etch, no matter if I use a 2.6.17 (from etch) or .18 kernel (from sid). Screenshot also attached. regards, Holger [beta3.png (image/png, attachment)] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/beta3.png?bug=394209;msg=5;att=1 [daily.png (image/png, attachment)] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/daily.png?bug=394209;msg=5;att=2 [etch-upgrade.png (image/png, attachment)] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/daily.png?bug=394209;msg=5;att=3
