Dear Cryril, Martin, Iwamatsu-san, I'm happy to inform you that I confirmed 2/19 daily d-i network-console images are working fine on device tree based armel orion5x/kirkwood Buffalo Linkstation devices.
I tried the following two devices: - Linkstation LS-WTGL (orion5x with 64M memory) - Linkstation LS-WVL (kirkwood with 256M memory) It's worth mention that even the device with 64M memory can still run d-i, though I tried a few times only once can really finish the installation. (For the device with 256M memory, I didn't met much problem.) Another thing I want to mention is that it still need a command line to create RAID1 /boot partition: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 -e 0 /dev/sda1 missing Because partman-md only can create md device with metadata=1.2, which cannot be recognized by Linkstation's uboot (ARM bootloader) Except two tested ones, other Linkstation devices should be supported includes: - originally supported LS-GL(Pro/Live) / LS-WSGL(Mini) / LS-CHLv2 / LS-XHL - newly added by me: LS-VL / LS-WSXL / LS-WXL I've been working on this for months, since device-tree patch to upstream kernel. I'm happy that finally those orion5x/kirkwood NAS boxes, which already or almost lost support from vendor, can be supported by Debian. Thanks for your guiding and support!
