While atftpd is known to work in most scenarios, it produced timeouts in combination with the HP hardware. tftpd-hpa worked fine. Installation went till the point of choosing the kernel - which doesn't seem to depend on initrd-tools, so the kernel installation failed and I had to reinstall with a manual installation of the missing package. Additionally kernel-img.conf didn't contain the "do_initrd=yes" string. After this, the installation went fine till reboot. Following hardware detection crashed the machine with loading the de4x5 module which was automatically disabled for the next reboot. While installing with a serial console, it would be fine to have the matching inittab line enabled, so that I'm able to use the machine later on. Maybe these things are fixed in SVN. Now I've a build system to create newer images ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
