Hi, has anybody tested the etch installer on m68k yet? I need to reinstall my Falcon/CT60 and I thought I'd give it a try. The RC1 release of the installer does not include any atari kernels, since we activated building for atari only after RC1 was released, so I expected some troubles.
I downloaded the netinst CD image (debian-testing-m68k-netinst.iso) The installer scripts are in install/tools and for the amiga users there even .info files down to this directory. There is an amiga directory, but no amiga.info file, that one seems to have been misplaced in the install directory. The StartInstall files all contain this: -k //kernels/vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga However, the CD image only contains vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-amiga for the amiga. This needs to be adjusted. I have no idea if the StartInstall scripts for the various graphic cards still work, the drivers are being removed from linux 2.6.19 since they have been marked broken for a long time. For the mac, there exists no directory in the install folder, ie no Penguin boot loader, no bootargs, only the kernel image. Is this enough to boot a mac with emile? I did not find emile on the image, though. For the atari, nothing is on the image, but I hope atari will be included in RC2, at least bootstr.app and a bootargs should be provided. I just used the vmlinuz from linux-image-2.6.18-3-atari_2.6.18-6_m68k.deb, since the ethernec driver is built in, but I haven't tested that image before. I am using the following bootargs: -s -d -k vmlinux -r initrd.gz root=/dev/ram video=atafb:sthigh console=tty devfsd=nomount load_ramdisk=1 debian-installer/framebuffer=false ramdisk_size=13000 With a 2.4.30 kernel, I can actually get the installer to start, however it fails when trying to detect the network hardware, my 2.4.30 does not have the EtherNEC driver (yet). 2.6.18 seems to boot also, but I get no readable output on the display, which makes installing difficult. Am I missing a magical option to enable graphics on my falcon? I should try to get a 2.4.30 kernel with built-in EtherNEC, I have my doubts that the atari can load network drivers from a floppy. 2.6.18 does not include SCSI drivers, since they are (still) broken, so no CD-Rom on my Atari and the MO drive won't work either. I could not copy the contents of the netinst CD onto the IDE disk, TOS wanted to copy files which are not present (Aa, Ab, ...), I was hoping I could install the Atari just with the initrd and dowloading everything else from the net.
