INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: self compiled CVS version 13 november 2003 uname -a: Linux (none) 2.4.21-sparc64-udeb #2 Thu Aug 7 21:50:19 EDT 2003 sparc64 unknown Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 21:34:41 +0100 Method: "boot net" Machine: Sun Ultra 5 Processor: UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz Memory: 128Mo Root Device: Root Size/partition table: Output of lspci: /bin/sh: lspci: not found Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] (with problems next, see below) Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The NEWT debconf frontend had a blue cursor on blue background. Due to that, it was impossible to complete the installation; we could not see the cursor. We could see which buttons were active, though. When we opened a shell on tty2, the keyboard appeared to have strange behaviour: only after every 4 keystrokes, you did get feedback. e.g. type one, two, three, nothing appears, type four and you see 1234 Error in the keyboard buffer? Wrong driver? The installation did successfully perform a dhcp request. However, it was unable to make a connection to any Debian mirror, so we could not continue. There were too little utilities present to test more; no ping, only ifconfig. Leaving now the Sun hardware, maybe next week more.
