I just did a successful installation on a DECstation 5000/133 via the serial console. Everything worked fine, apart from one thing: both colo-installer and delo-installer got loaded, and colo-installer was executed instead of delo-installer. I have no idea why colo-installer was loaded since it has a different sub-architecture (however, iirc, delo-installer is also loaded on Cobalt, so I assume sub-arch handling is broken). p2 said that bogl crashes when he tries a DECstation install with a video card, but it worked for Karsten recently. I asked Karsten to see if it works for him. In any case, d-i definitely works on DECstation via the serial console and is ready for beta4. That is, mipsel/r3k-kn02 and mipsel/r4k-kn04 (DECstation with R3000 and R4000 CPUs). mipsel/cobalt also works. The only problem is that you (currently) need an existing Linux installation in order to boot d-i. This will be fixed after beta4 (I'm waiting for the upstream author of colo to implement net booting). Apart from this, Cobalt installations work. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
