Hi! We have had some discussion in private mails and on other lists regarding the creation of installation for sparc64.
I am currently working on creating new installation images on an old Sun Blade 100 workstation I borrowed tomorrow following a guide that was created by Helge Deller (CC): > https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/How_to_create_Debian_unstable_iso_images Helge already successfully built images for alpha and hppa [1], however those still require a dedicated mirror where some arch-specific files are stored, see [2]. Thus, we should try to improve on the process such that the generated ISOs can actually be installed stand-alone (besides the mirror downloads that the netinst image is performing). Any further help and input is appreciated! Getting new sparc64 installation images is actually important for us since we should update the kernels on the buildds as soon as possible since the outdated 3.2.0 kernels might be responsible for many of the segfaults we are seeing during builds [3]. If anyone makes any progress or questions creating those images, please post them on the list, prerably in this thread.
