Hi,

I tried today's build (20090430) and the 'CD-ROM driver not found'
problem is fixed:

  http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i/powerpc/20090430-22:00/powerpc64/netboot/

I was able to finish the install, but still got the
same other known problems:

(1) At kernel install:

  'No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources'
  'base-installer: info: could not determine kernel flavor'

It should install the 64 bit powerpc kernel.

(2) At boot loader install:

  'No boot loader has been installed'
  'GRUB not yet usable on PowerPC systems'

It should create a /etc/yaboot.conf on the same partition that the
kernel was installed to, but nothing else is needed.  The petitboot
bootloader can read from vfat, ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

-Geoff

Bug#512546: just binary patch it..

2009-05-01 Thread Clemens Fruhwirth
Binary patch PCI-IDs:

dd bs=1 count=73332 if=e1000e.ko > head
dd bs=1 skip=73334 if=e1000e.ko > tail
echo -ne \\0336\\0020 > middle
cat head middle tail > e1000e.ko

Works only with the 105756 sized binary from Lenny i386 release CDs.
You have to modprobe e1000e.ko manually, of course.

I like Debian because it puts stability before features. But the
difference between regular software features and hardware support is
that there is no option of downgrading/keeping the older version. So
go ahead and add the PCI-IDs; for hardware there is nothing noble
about choosing "unsupported" over "not fully tested, please consider
this experimental"

.. and btw the drivers survived the Debian installation pretty well
with this hack.
