This is on ia64, b-f 3.0.14, debootstrap 0.1.15.3, libc6.1 2.2.4-2 All worked fine with libc6.1 2.2.4-1. debootstrap tries to x_core_install $LIBC6 before sysvinit has been installed (it is unpacked, but dpkg doesn't know about it). libc6.1 postinst does sysvinitver="`dpkg -s sysvin

I had a similar problem to the original reporter with a PCMCIA Xircom. This was fixed as of boot-floppies 3.0.14. However now I find an "ifconfig eth0 down" will freeze the system, even though it had been working perfectly. However all-in-all, 3.0.14 works much better with PCMCIA. -- Dan Shearer
