Adding the extra ppc64 specific files should be sufficient. > > I had to set up the network manually to get around a problem with the > > automatic DHCP setup and there is also a problem with the partition > > detection. > > Does (lib)parted already work for you or could the partitioning problems > have their base there? parted seems to work. I am not yet sure what the actual problem is. A small patch to partman-base will probably be necessary, but this will fix only a part of the partitioning problem. > I'd appreciate it if you could try to get this working first, so we have > an overview of the full set of patches and know that it will actually > result in working installations. I will work on this. Currently I still have to use quite a few ugly tricks to convince the installer to install the ppc64 port. I am not sure how much work it will be to make a really smooth d-i installation of the ppc64 port possible. But I am quite confident that it can be done and that the amount of actual changes to the d-i sources will be small. > Until that time I think working in a branch would be best.

A local checkout or a dir under people would both be fine. I will work in any way that is considered convenient by the d-i team. It will just be good to know that the ppc64 related changes are generally welcome and have a chance to be included in the main d-i sources at some point. > We could decide on integration after that.
