I never had much luck with upgrading my IPX to Sarge with apt-get, so I was eager to try out the new Debian installer beta 3 which comes with a release for Sparc. I burned http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/beta3/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso and booted from it, but after booting the kernel it hangs with a kernelpanic and the message VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom. After trying again with the argument linux root=/dev/sda1 it proceeds to boot into my existing Woody install, but not into the Debian installer. If there isn't something obvious that I am overlooking I will file an installation report. Peter
