comment on : #397973: [powerpci/mac] partman-md appears to not write back the raid flag to partitions. Maybe it would be worth to raise the severity of this bug, but i can hardly do this, or i will be seen as whiner who ups the severity of his pet bugs, can i ask you to have a look at them ?

ce that the 2.6 sarge d-i image had a bug which was later fixed in the etch/sid version. It has to do with calling mkvmlinuz i think, instead of simply gzipping it by hand.

t? Is it possibly a debian bug? Motorola Powerstack II works fine with sarge. The CD install method is not supported though, but the netboot install is needed. You need to download the /powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd, put it on your tftp server and netboot it with : boot enet:,vmlinuz-prep.ini
