Debian-installer-version: CVS checkout and build on 2003-08-29 00:10 CET uname -a: Linux eppesuig3 2.4.22-pre4-ben0 #1 Fri Aug 22 18:08:04 CEST 2003 ppc GNU/Linux Date: 2003-08-29 Method: I made a cdrom image and booted from cdrom Machine: Apple Powerbook3,5 [EMAIL PROTECTED], 15" (radeon) Processor: powerpc Memory: 512Mb Root Device: IDE, /dev/hda, 40Gb Root Size/partition table: unpartitioned hard disk Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The computer booted from cdrom and paused at the yaboot prompt, then I waited some seconds in order to get the kernel loaded. The kernel was loaded and started checking the hardware. After printing the line adb: finished probe task... the boot stopped. The machine wasn't blocked: if I insert/remove a USB mouse then I may see the kernel messages from hub.c and usb.c stating that the new device is being added/removed. Apart from this the machine was blocked. During a normal boot of the machine I saw that after the adb: line there is always the 'INIT' line, so probably the kernel booted right but was unable to run init. As a side note, I found a typo in the first text printed from yaboot. I corrected it and committed to CVS. Bye, Giuseppe
