INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version:
http://people.debian.org/~manty/testing/netinst/ia64/daily/sarge-ia64-businesscard.iso dated 08-JAN-2004 15:02 uname -a: Date: Jan 8th 2004, 23:20 GMT Method: businesscard.iso, specified 'testing', local http mirror Machine: HP i2000 proto Processor: Itanium (dual) Memory: 1G Root Device: SCSI Root Size/partition table: 100MB FAT16 for EFI, 1990MB ext3 for '/'. Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Two issues: a) The iso has kernel-installer_0.045_all.udeb, even though 0.046 is in the archive. Presumably we are stuck with that until Joeyh forces 0.046 in to testing. As a result, it installed a 2.4.19 kernel for Itanium, rather than choosing Itanium or Mckinley 2.4.20 based on /proc/cpuinfo. b) At some point during loading the installer modules, it spews a load of text over the screen, such as: Unknown localized field: Description-fr.ISO-8859-15: Aucune partition de dmarrage dtecte That doesn't seem to cause a problem though. I checked that the sym53c8xx_2 module jbailey wanted was available, so I think we can say ia64 is ready for beta2. Would be very nice if someone else could test though.
