Bug#989982: live-setup: eatmydata sates my bootstrap.log
Package: cdimage.debian.org Severity: normal Debian Images Team, The recent use of eatmydata to create live images generates many errors, and may not be effective. Weekly Live Builds (Jun 14, 2021): debian-live-testing-amd64-standard.iso $ grep ERROR /var/log/bootstrap.log | uniq -c 6926 ERROR: ld.so: object 'libeatmydata.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored. I believe the relevant invocation is live-setup: https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/live-setup available/live-wrapper-binary line 160: eatmydata -- lwr $OPTS --architecture $ARCH \ The Dec 24, 2020 commit is entitled: "Use eatmydata - will things go faster?" So, do things go faster? :) These may or may not be helpful with fixing things: #854660 [live-build] pass LD_PRELOAD to the chroot stage (to enable e.g. libeatmydata) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=854660 #906927 eatmydata: Use invalid location of libeatmydata.so https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906927 Thank you!

Bug#990016: Debian installer images missing ASpeed video driver
Package: debian-cd Severity: Important The current Bullseye installer images don't include the "ast" video driver, making it impossible to install Debian on systems that don't have a fallback VGA BIOS (anything non-x86, e.g. ARM/OpenPOWER). Ubuntu fixed this issue almost 5 years ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1514711 Please include the "ast" kernel module, which does not require any proprietary firmware to function, in the Debian installer CD images.

Just a quick sanity check - how did you partition the disk? Does it have the normal boot partition etc. needed for OpenPOWER? I'll admit I don't know all the details here - I'm not a powerpc expert. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "This dress doesn't reverse." -- Alden Spiess
