Hi I've encountered some interesting behaviour of the debian installation system during a woody installation on an Amiga4000 APUS box (architecture: powerpc, flavor: apus), using kernel 2.4.17 and boot-floppies 3.0.19.
The case why I've encountered this at all, was, that selecting "Initialize a Linux Partition" caused the installation system to restart, but I was told that this is an APUS kernel specific thing. But the following shouldn't be kernel specific, and it was also not known if this behaviour is erratic or if it is the expected behaviour of the system, so I was told to post this to this list. So here we go. When the installer restarts, it always starts in the current console the user is in. For example, when I change to console 3 shortly after selecting the ominous "Initialize a Linux Partition" menu point, it will start in console 3 (quite practical to see the kernel output on console, I am using -v ;) ). Otherwise, if I change to console 2 and the installer systems starts there, this is quite a bad idea, because on console 2 no keyboard entry can be done anymore (console 2 is the one in which a shell could be started by pressing enter during the installation). So, what do you think? Is this unexpected, or is it just the way it should be? With other words, should I file a bug against the boot-floppies, or is it just the way it should work and used for debugging?
