Release Notes!!!
(Maybe I should've added "SEX!!!" or "MAKE MONEY FAST" into the header to get people to pay attention, but what the hey...) I'm not sure what good it'll do, but this is the absolute last chance for changes to the release notes before release. Josip, who took wonderful care of this for TC3, is on holidays so isn't available to do this. If there's some new release notes in my inbox or somewhere obvious in incoming by 00:00 GMT on the 12th (which is *not* far away from now), they'll have a good chance of getting included in the release. If not they will *not* make it. I'd much rather have multiple up-to-date lots of release notes to choose from than none. If you want to coordinate stuff with other people, #debian-boot on irc.debian.org or so.

One thing that I don't remember seeing in the release notes is a mention that, after upgrading from slink, it is necessary to install a 2.2.x kernel before Samba will work again. This is a known bug (#60580) but could easily cause confusion - people upgrading slink Samba servers will have to plan for a kernel upgrade and reboot as well. I just got bitten by this again upgrading a server at the weekend. Thanks, Ian Redfern. - End forwarded message - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

boot problems with Industrial Computer Systems system
We have several ICS systems here that I would like to run Debian on. Some of them work fine, but some will not get past the syslinux stage, they get to the point of printing "Loading..." and then reboot. This behavior occurs with both the slink and the potato boot disks, including the "safe" versions. I have been able to get potato to run on these systems with the following procedure: Create a 2.2.17 kernel that is tailored to the target system. (Nothing special, just an aic7xxx scsi device and an etherexpress16 nic) Create a boot disk that boots using lilo (this implies ext2) with the above kernel and an initrd that loads the slink root.bin. Write a slink boot disk (umsdos) and replace the kernel with the tailored one above. Boot the target system with the lilo boot disk. Load the root.bin disk when prompted. Load the syslinux boot disk when prompted. Off we go Clearly, the problem is in syslinux, but this is a work around for anyone with similar problems. Should I file a bug report on syslinux? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Ziegler) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Minimized Debian bootable CD
Otto Wyss [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm very interested in your success since I also tried to use debian-cd. Unfortunatly debian-cd puts a lot of constrains on the configuration of what's included (i.e. all required, important and standard packages, etc.). I'd like to know how you circumvent these restrictions. Yep. Punt debian-cd, it's not useful. You need to put the boot floppies section of the debian archive on the CD; it doesn't really matter where, though I put it in debian/dists/potato/... where it would usually go. You need to point the mkisofs El Torito info at the 2.88 boot image. Then it Just Works. The minimal amount of stuff you need from boot-floppies seems to be: the 2.88 image (for El Torito), the 1.44 kernel and drivers images (because of a shortcoming in dbootstrap) and the base system tarball. The dbootstrap deficiency is that dbootstrap wants to install the base system, the kernel, and the drivers, and the last two it always searches for with 1.44 filenames. It would be Really Nice if that deficiency were fixed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Release Notes (Re: Stuff to do before release)

I didn't have time to examine postings to -doc/-testing and merge them in the release notes (until now I supposed Josip would've been doing that) and I won't have time to do that before your deadline -- which I suppose is in a few hours time. I could possibly give it some attention tomorrow, if you want. Besides, while I can commit changes to the release-notes SGML source in the boot-floppies CVS, I'm not able to produce all formats (txt,html,ps,pdf,...) for all arch'es because I not only lack the experience but also the potato box it "has" to be done on. Basically all "someone" would have to do is pull the entire boot-floppies stuff from (anonymous) CVS and issue the proper make commando(s?) -- but don't ask me which one(s). Anyone from -boot more info on that? Regards, Anne Bezemer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
