Hi,
I did some test installs with the CD for powerpc yesterday on a 250 Mhz iMac
with 192mb RAM (and with the CD built on the 22nd of april.)
Summary: it looks much better than before but still has some itchy bits.
I did three installations, always selecting the workstation and standalone
profiles together.
The difference was the type of partitioning setup I choose. If I choose "all
files in one partition", the installed system booted after the installation.
If I choose a LVM setup, either the workstation profile or the "all files in
one partition", the bootloader couldnt boot the kernel. Strangely in all
three cases d-i claims at the end of the installation, that it couldnt
install the bootloader. (But it was always there, it just didnt work in two
cases :/
the "all files in one partition", is debian's recipe so not one of ours.
And it contains /boot on a separate etx3 partition so the bootloader
should find it lvm or not. was the error that bootloader failed to load
the kernel/initrd. or that the kernel/initrd loaded, but failed to boot ?
perhaps we have a missing module in the initrd ? also are there logs
from when the bootloader claims to fail to install ?
it would also be interesting to know if our profile recipes work at at all.
LVM works in Debian etch. (I havent confirmed etch final yet, but rc1 worked
for sure.) So this is an debian-edu issue.
Select mirror always failed, but AIUI Pere already fixed this in r32740. I'm
not sure if this is the reason for the somewhat strange /e/a/sources.list I
had on the installed system, I'll take another look once the fixed package is
available.
The installed kdm looks nice and sounds works too. The X resolution is too
small, but this is also the case for a Debian etch install.
After login a debconf note is shown, informing me about some debconf failures
from debian-edu-config (due to not being able to find an ldap-server tjener,
etc.). This looks bad on standalone install.
Besides these minor issues I now have a debian-edu powerpc workstation.
