As most d-i related work has slowed down for me the very last couple
of days, I got time again for working on localechooser.
So, this is time for a quick update about the status of this package.
Localechooser is aimed at being the replacement package for
languagechooser and countrychooser

Hi again!
I found a partial solution to the problem.
For the boot-floppy of woody, which has kernel-2.2.20, there exists a
perl-script that lets you do what I wanted: set the boot parameters
including the name of the root partition.
If kernel-2.2.20 is OK for you, this is the way to go (at

You're on debian-boot at the moment. [[ ... ]] is a bashism, not
supported by busybox, and therefore useless in d-i.
As far as I can tell, [[/]] is POSIX 1003.2 syntax. Therefore, it's
more like busybox cannot do POSIX.

It's possible my quick read of the kernel source had an off-by-one
error. :-) Alternatively, it could be that your last parameter isn't
actually needed if netcfg/get_hostname is set, though that seems
Very nice job on localechooser. (One question: Have you looked into how
many places assume en_US is a sort of C locale, and would need to be
changed to support a real C locale? IIRC there are several.)
Not yet, no. The first place is localechooser itself as, for instance,

Hi,
As per Joey's request I've downloaded the daily build of the debian
installer initial ramdisk image, and the kernel, and retried the
installation.
This information is also relevant to bug #238601 as that is my first and
mostly successful installation attempt on m68k. So this is a followup

Thanks for supplying the image. I downloaded it and tried it.

I installed from the debian-installer CD-ROM downloaded today. It recognised
the disks in this machine and installed fine.
But when it came to reboot it failed in the initrd with the following error:
sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
I was tearing my hair out too trying to get SATA to play nice with debian.
In the end, downloaded a recent version of the netinst image.
type in linux26 at boot to load the 2.6 kernel, then go to shell prompt and
type in modprobe ata_piix, exit shell and voila it works!

Hi Patrick,
Would you mind to check http://bugs.debian.org/266239 ?
Does this sound familiar ;-)?
For 2.4.27 I would suggest to use sym53c8xx_2, if possible.
This seems to be the most recent driver. And it is not
renamed by initrd-tools.
Good luck
