Hi guys, Many thanks for your closure of my recent bug to get the Sun LDOM modules included into the Debian-installer (and the associated kernel work).
To further the process, I tried to do an install using the daily netboot image at http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/sparc/daily/netboot/boot.img. I'm pleased to say that this gets further than ever before: - it fails to detect the network device but i'm able to select the correct one from a list. - it fails to detect the disk device but i'm able to select the correct one from a list. (Don't know if the above 2 are a udev problem) Anyway, both easily worked around. The problem I get now is that the kernel the installer installs as part of the setup is the etch-n-half kernel, which doesn't have the required drivers installed. So I'm stuck at 'waiting for root filesystem...' until I drop to the initrd, and I can't find the module to install. Having some stuff randomly in my head about being able to pass suite= to the boot line, I reinstalled with suite=lenny. This time, the debian-installer installs a better sounding kernel (2.6.26-1-sparc64-smp), but I'm dumped to the initrd shell again. Looking through the filesystem, the modules are definitely there and I can insmod them and continue the install. Is there anything I'm missing here? I can tell something is 'just a bit missing' and I'd love to be able to raise a correct bug report for this and get it squashed before Lenny. Thanks for your help so far, Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
