Hello Unfortunately I can't install Debian on a IBM Power 740 express server. The squeeze d-i can't complete the installation of busybox as it claims. Changing to a shell chroot into /target and install it by hand works fine.
Watching the logs, it shows that the installer did install busybox: Feb 25 09:14:08 in-target: The following NEW packages will be installed: Feb 25 09:14:08 in-target: busybox Feb 25 09:14:11 in-target: 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Feb 25 09:14:11 in-target: Need to get 0 B/350 kB of archives. Feb 25 09:14:11 in-target: After this operation, 655 kB of additional disk space will be used. Feb 25 09:14:11 in-target: Selecting previously deselected package busybox. Feb 25 09:14:11 in-target: (Reading database ...

But further down, there is an error: Feb 25 09:25:48 in-target: Unexpected error; command not executed: 'sh -c debconf-apt-progress --no-progress --logstderr -- apt-get -q -y --no-remove install busybox' Feb 25 09:25:48 base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/kernel/failed-package-install Feb 25 09:26:03 main-menu[24354]: WARNING **: Configuring 'bootstrap-base' failed with error code 1 Feb 25 09:26:03 main-menu[24354]: WARNING **: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' failed. The installer doesn't want to continue, retrying the operation doesn't help, reformatting neither. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Best regards, Adrian. -- ................................
