boot-floppies progress
I apologize for my recent lack of involvement in boot-floppies maintenance. I have been allowing myself the rather guilty pleasure of working through the new policy of Debian SGML/XML stuff. Which is a whole lot more fun for me than boot-floppies hacking. Anyhow, I'm right now going to tag/release 2.2.21 for Potato 2.2r3. I need to back out David's changes bumping i386 kernel to 2.2.19pre17 because pcmcia modules are not yet available for the compact and idepci flavors. So I'm shipping bf 2.2.21 i386 using 2.2.18pre21. I know that's old but that's the last complete set we have for i386, and there's not much I can do about it. When a new complete set is ready, it's a pretty simple thing to make a new boot-floppies. After that is done, I need execute a rather complex CVS maneuver in which I will make the Potato stuff into it's own branch, merge the woody changes into the trunk, and officially kill the woody branch (since woody development is mainline). I'm afraid I don't yet have an ETA on working woody boot-floppies -- I need to make an assessment.

Bug#90204: installation process unclear when network card not found
Whit [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Using the vanilla installation, it didn't have my network card (3c905), so it didn't offer the network setup options on installation. Since the system is already running Red Hat, I compiled a fresh 2.2.19pre kernel and set a Debian lilo option. Booting into Debian with it I looked around with the question "Okay, what's the efficient Debian way to set up the network options?" If there's a clue I can't find it. (On Red Hat this is the one thing I usually use linuxconf for - after carefully disabling all its other buggy functions - glad to see that shoddy utility's not in your base install.) There should also be an obvious way to go back to a bypassed network setup once a proper kernel or module is in place. This should be mentioned in the installation manual, or at the least the manual should reference whatever the most convenient included utilities are that can be used in place of various stages of the 'straightforward' process when things go deviant. This is described in detail in the install manual: URL:http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-init-config.en.html#s-configure-network I'll need more specific information about what in that section needs to be improved. Please include literal text you would like to see included. If not, I will have to close the bug. Why not have an option to go ahead and set up the networking options on the first pass _even if the network card isn't recognized yet_? That's the way it works, and that won't be changing.

Re: Kernel for woody
If it is just a question of rebuilding tha packages, I can probably help. I haven't gotten the pcmcia-cs buld to make flavors yet. I needed this patch to get them to build. Unfortunately I expect this will cause problems with other kernels. Perhaps somehow make this conditional on kernel version? --- pcmcia-cs-3.1.22/clients/apa1480_stub.c.origThu Mar 22 06:57:16 2001 +++ pcmcia-cs-3.1.22/clients/apa1480_stub.c Thu Mar 22 06:38:16 2001 @@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ #include ../drivers/scsi/scsi.h #include ../drivers/scsi/hosts.h #include scsi/scsi_ioctl.h -#include ../drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.h +#include ../drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h #include pcmcia/driver_ops.h David Wed, Mar 21, 2001 at 09:14:52PM -0500 wrote: David Whedon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just uploaded kernel-image-2.2.19pre17-compact kernel-image-2.2.19pre17-idepci Ok -- I'd be happy to include that in the 2.2r3 update but we will need the pcmcia-modules packages for those images put into stable. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onshored.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#84830: Me too, and more info
I have tried to install Debian on my Power Computing PowerBase 180 (PCI expansion boards / MacAlly ethernet card). The Open Firmware version is 2.0. The floppy image from the 2.2.18 stable potato release behaves as described. The machine becomes unresponsive after the request for a root disk. I obtained the previous version (2.2.17) boot floppy from a link on the debian-powerpc mailing list. This floppy does boot and continues to accept the 2.2.18 root.bin floppy image. However, I ran into more problems trying to use the old version's boot floppy to install the current release. In particular, after attempting to install the drivers.tgz file, depmod reported that the modules.dep file could not be created in /lib/modules/2.2.17. (Because the directory there was named 2.2.18pre21 instead). I did get the installer to run without errors, by creating a lib/modules/2.2.17 directory on the partition prior to installing the kernel. Note: the messages seen by choosing Command-F3 are confusing in this situation. A messaeg appears stating "kernel and modules install successful" even though the final message is "Can't open /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep for writing". Since the modules can't be located unless the modules.dep is successfully written, I suggest holding off on the success message until that file has been created. After completing the base install and configuration, I attempted to make my hard disk bootable. I have an external SCSI disk attached to my system (sdb) which was partitioned and formatted completely within Linux. This operation also failed, saying the Debian/PowerPC system cannot make the hard disk bootable yet. The partitions were: Apple_Bootstrap 10M type A/UX, root 64M type A/UX, swap 64M type A/UX, user 1.9G type A/UX. I attempted to use quik from a shell to manually install the boot blocks, and it gave an error also, saying it could not write the partition. I also tried to use dd as mentioned in the quik.spec source, that also failed. I also tried Quik for the Mac V1.3.0, and it returns read error -7918 reading blks 1..1 . I also tried booting via BootX, it froze every time I tried to launch Linux. ybin and yaboot refuse to even consider my Mac. I also tried System Disk 2.6.2 and an older version, and both said they would be ineffective on my Mac, and just beeped when I tried to Save. The NetBSD documentation on OF states that OF 2.0.X will not boot from any old partition on a hard disk, that it must be partition 0 (the beginning of the disk where the partition map normally resides). NetBSD has a bootxx first-stage and ofwboot.xcf second-stage bootloader which resides there, but requires a load-base 60 setting within Open Firmware, Boot Variables, or nvsetenv to accommodate the loader. Is it possible that quik or yaboot could accommodate the OF 1.05/2.0 macs using a similar approach?

Woah, that's Really Bad, 2.2.18pre21 has security holes and some nasty
bugs (e.g. MegaRAID incompatibility). What's the problem with pcmcia
modules?
There is no package for pcmcia-modules-2.2.19pre17-{compact,idepci} packages.
For any kernel to be used by boot-floppies i386 I need:
kernel-image-X.Y
kernel-image-X.Y-{ide,idepci,compact}
pcmcia-modules-X.Y-{ide,idepci,compact}
If any one bit is missing, due to the inflexibility of the build
system, I cannot use that whole revision.

Daniel Jacobowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would really rather someone fix this, even at the cost of delaying boot floppies further. 2.2.19pre17 is a significant security upgrade. I'll happily rebuild when those are provided. Be aware that in at least 40% of the cases where there's a new set of i386 *something* goes wrong, using symbol mismatces in one of the flavored pcmcia-modules, and it takes a while for things to get rebuilt properly.

boot-floppies 2.2.21 released
I decided to release and upload 2.2.21 even though we know we're going to want to do a boot-floppies 2.2.22 for i386 at least for newer 2.2.19pre17 kernels. Please test this out. It's probably most convenient to grab it from URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/current/. I'm really only considering crippling or RC bugs at this point as we're already much delayed on delivering woody boot-floppies. FYI, here's the kernel breakdown for boot-floppies kernel use as it stands now: ifeq "$(architecture)" "alpha" kver:= 2.2.19pre13 endif ifeq "$(architecture)" "arm" kver:= 2.2.18-rmk1 endif ifeq "$(architecture)" "i386" kver:= 2.2.18pre21 endif ifeq "$(architecture)" "m68k" kver:= 2.2.17 endif ifeq "$(architecture)" "powerpc" kver:= 2.2.18pre21 apuskver:= 2.2.10 endif ifeq "$(architecture)" "sparc" kver:= 2.2.19pre11 endif -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onshored.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
