Package: debian-installer
Version: 6.0.0 power
Severity: important
Hi,
After installing debian 6.0.0 in a ibm power5 lpar (power platform; powerpc
cd), the installer fails to install a bootloader (yaboot and prep both fail).
The system won't come up then of course.
-- System Information:
Debia
Hi,
It seems that when the lpar reboots when one selects install64, and then
after the reboot again install64; the system then *does* boot!
Now when the system is fully installed one needs to upgrade yaboot to
1.3.14. Then the system is able to boot from disk as well.

An other minor problem: when booting the debian cd in rescue-mode,
'detect disks' does not find anything. If you do invoke the rescue-shell
then, and then check the output of dmesg: the disks ARE found and you
CAN mount them.

Ok this fixed the problem that installing from a virtual optical drive
failed during the package-installation.
A new problem, though, is that when c

Will the buildproces produce an .ISO-file? Then I'll definately give it

Hi,
It would be nice if one could install on the combination of a memory
stick/compactflash card and an nfs share.
That way one can also boot non-pxe systems without any local disk.

Hi,
It would be nice if support for installing on an nfs-rootfs would be
supported. That way one could have /boot on, say, a flashdisk (or a
cdrom) and then continue the boot from an nfs-share.
