Hi all, in these days I'm doing some tests on a PowerBook G3, I keep this notebook just to do this work when I have some spare time.
All tests' results are bad. 1) using stable installer, in the readme.txt I read: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 "Squeeze" - Official powerpc NETINST Binary-1 20120930-16:01 at the end of base-install I see a core dump. I was able to see it switching to console 4 while debootstrap was runnig, but I was not able to see what core dumped. I also tried to lower debconf priority, stop before the base-install, switch to console 3, run deboostrap from command line and it completes without problems. So the problem is in the next step. How can I debug it? 2) using a daily built, yesterday build to be precise, the test stops at kernel module loading time, apparently installer kernel is 3.2.0-3 while on cdrom in /pool/main/l/linux-latest/ I see: linux-image-powerpc_3.2+46_powerpc.deb. I'm not sure I checked in the right place for the kernel that is going to be installed. Either way d-i is complaining that loaded kernel and archive kernel are not equal and then installation stopped. What can I do to to help in solving this problem? Is some one else trying d-i on powerpc? Bye Stefano -- Stefano Canepa aka sc: [email protected] - http://www.stefanocanepa.it Three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience and hubris.
