Hi, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ports-status is IMHO a bit confusing and missing some infos:
- for oldworld cd- and net-booting a note should be added: "needs booting from
OpenFirmware" (this is currently not described in the manual - if it's added
(it's on my list for today to properly document it, so it can be added), IMHO
a link to the relevant section in the manual should be added as well, or not)
- apple g5 is available now (in sarge or sid) ?! afaik it takes the power4
kernel and the powerpc userland ?!
- notes should be added to power3 rs6k and power4 rs6k: 32bit mode only.
- "power3 IBM rs6k" and "power4 IBM rs6k" use the same images, merge them into
one subarch column
- d-i for IBM pseries is available and uses the same Images as power4 -> merge
them into one subarch column
- "powerpc ibm rs6k" uses the same images as "chrp" -> merge them into one
subarch column
- power3 IBM RS6000 netboot rc3-link is broken: typo: "netboo" :)
- mention the unsupported rs6k models as notes.
Please correct my assumption or confirm them!
I'll will provide a proper patch (to the wml-source) for another round of
reviews when these questions are clear...
regards,
Holger
<p2-mate> afaik the following rs6ks exist :
<p2-mate> power 1 - MCA
<p2-mate> power 2 - MCA
<p2-mate> ppc32 - MCA
<p2-mate> ppc32 - prep
<p2-mate> ppc32 - chrp
<p2-mate> power3 - chrp ?
<p2-mate> power4 - ?
<p2-mate> power5 - ?
<p2-mate> anything - MCA is not supported
<p2-mate> as in no kernel :)
<h01ger> afaik d-i doesnt support mca, not really sure about ppc32-prep
<p2-mate> linux kernel doesn't support mca either so :)
