I assume you used the URL above to install, rather the official image of Debian stable? The image above is an unstable image from July and given the recent changes in d-i I wouldn't be surprised it's no longer working... armel guys, can you please stop pimping your daily images to everyone. John didn't actually ask for armel images, did he? John: there are two ports of Debian for ARM: the arm port, which is a well established and supported port, and for which images are available of Debian stable (etch). They are known to work. Then there's armel, the future of Linux on ARM, which is still in development, and not advised for users unless they really need armel (it offers better FP speed than the old arm port). > Partition table: no > /bin/partman: IN: QUIT > parted_server: Read command: QUIT > parted_server: Quitting I'm not too fimilar with partman but can you send this log to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frans Pop made some major changes to partman recently (i.e. in the last few days) so it's possible that something broke. (Yes, I said before that the image you used is from July but partman is being pulled in via the net from a mirror.) > and the syslog file contains: > > Dec 13 16:39:58 kernel: program partmap is using a deprecated SCSI > ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO This is "normal" - it's not the cause of the problem. Anyway, assuming you upgraded RedBoot before trying to install Debian, you can use the instructions from http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/telnet.html to load the installer image of Debian stable (etch) of arm. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
