Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: I used sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso obtained from <URL:http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/powerpc/20040911/> Since the original image did not include usable SCSI module .udebs, as reported separately in Bug#2....., I added them myself from the nearest mirror and rebuilt. uname -a: Linux verdandi 2.6.8-powerpc #1 Fri Aug 27 18:02:26 CEST 2004 ppc GNU/Linux Date: Sun Sep 12 16:16:07 CEST 2004 Method: CD boot, serial console, no network Machine: IBM RS/6000 43P-140 (Tiger) Processor: PowerPC 604e, 233MHz PReP sub-architecture Memory: 256MB Root Device: SCSI disk /dev/sda Root Size/partition table: sda1 Boot Primary PPC PReP Boot 15.73 sda2 Primary Linux swap 511.71 sda3 Primary Linux XFS [/] 8572.11 Output of lspci and lspci -n: 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Motorola MPC106 [Grackle] (rev 20) 0000:00:0b.0 ISA bridge: IBM Fire Coral (rev 03) 0000:00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 16) 0000:00:0d.0 ff00: IBM MPIC interrupt controller 0000:00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c825 (rev 13) 0000:00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] (rev 54) 0000:00:16.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang] 0000:00:17.0 PCI bridge: IBM IBM27-82351 (rev 01) 0000:01:03.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev 03) 0000:00:00.0 0600: 1057:0002 (rev 20) 0000:00:0b.0 0601: 1014:000a (rev 03) 0000:00:0c.0 0200: 1022:2000 (rev 16) 0000:00:0d.0 ff00: 1014:0046 0000:00:10.0 0100: 1000:0003 (rev 13) 0000:00:12.0 0300: 5333:8811 (rev 54) 0000:00:16.0 0200: 10b7:9050 0000:00:17.0 0604: 1014:0022 (rev 01) 0000:01:03.0 0100: 1000:000f (rev 03) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it 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] Comments: As always when installing on a PReP system, I had to drop into a shell after finishing the installation in order to make the system bootable from hard disk. Here are the exact steps: chroot /target sfdisk --change-id /dev/sda 1 41 dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-powerpc of=/dev/sda1 I'm not sure whether it's worth the effort of teaching d-i to do this for the user after asking whether it's okay. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
