I meant I'm gonna do some check this installer what modules are included at its boot-time. If you got this error message during the install, I guess this module should be put in initrams. Trying this image on various machines is very helpful, it makes clear what drivers are needed for a complete setup. I see two ways to collect these modules: a) checking the installer on several machines. advantage: only the really neccessary drivers will be used (IBM PowerX users, Mac Gx users, etc). disadvantage: machines may remain not-fully-supported (if no such volunteer during testing time) b) using module list from the official image. advantage: probably all hw supported disadvantage: unneccessary modules included (I'm sure the official image supports my RS6000 brontosaur in the corner of the server-room but I have no idea why to install debian on that) What do you guys suggest to do? I know this di image is not comfortable yet; partitioning is not interactive, kernel modules as probably tuned only for Power5 (the hardware used to build the iso), missing support for various RAID controllers etc. So there are lots of things to do. The most bothering issue is the install failure, reported by Gary on his G5. At least, it seems Yaboot 1.3.13a1 can be replaced by 1.3.16 in the official image (built by official di experts).
