Package: install Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable (Note: this bug was filed on an i386 sid box.)
I just tried the nightly release of Sarge installer on a Sun Enterprise 250. Detection of the SCSI hard disks went fine, but partitioning is not functional at all. I have noticed two issues: First, selecting the whole disks prompts whether to start with a blank partition table, then a confirmation. After pressing yes both times, the disk has no available partitions listed. By this point, partitioning is no longer possible at all. I did successfully install by deleting some old partitions, freeing up everything, and then starting from there: sda1: swap 512m sda2: / ext3 (the rest, about 8.5g) I noticed the kernel spot the new partition layout in dmesg. However, after a successful installation, the system was not bootable. Openboot said the disk was not ready and that it could not read the disk label. Re-running the installer showed that the only partition was a 9gb swap. Throughout all this I have noticed in dmesg the following error message when I attempt to change the partitioning: sys32_ioctl(partd_server:3543): Unknown cmd fd(10) cmd(2000126c) arg(efff530) The values of cmd and arg change somewhat. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: sparc Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-sparc64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
