The SEGV is in "frontend", looks like a null pointer deref. I switched to text frontend, fixed d-i to actually make a lifimage for netboot (I guess you created yours manually?), and tried again. I havn't submitted my change yet. Getting further now, currently running debootstrap, installing unstable. Couldn't partition disks because there is no [c]fdisk udeb installed. parted won't work for hppa because we need to create a partition of type 'F0' and parted can't do that. I skipped that step and used my existing partitions. IIRC this is a problem with fdisk-udeb priority. It gets pulled in on i386 anyway because lilo-installer wants it (at least, that is what I recall), but doesn't get pulled in for hppa. I think the easy answer is to include it in the pkg-lists for hppa. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
