Thanks, I was too tired yesterday... Turned out I had a timeframe of 15 minutes where the install would have been successful, but read on: Booted up OK (with preseeding as usually), but still lacks the change for the partitioner. Are these changes part of the packages which are retrieved over the net? Perhaps they haven't been updated on debian-ports? Only guessing, though, I don't know much about the installer internals... Anyway, after adding the "-F" to the line in 50format_ext3 per hand, I can confirm that the filesystem gets created. Unfortunatly, I'm now running into a new error during install of the base system: Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: dpkg: regarding .../ifupdown_0.8.5_sparc64.deb containing ifupdown: Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: ifupdown breaks systemd (<< 228-3~) Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: systemd (version 228-2) is present and triggered. Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown_0.8.5_sparc64.deb (--unpack): Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: installing ifupdown would break systemd, and Jan 2 18:15:07 debootstrap: deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help) The version of ifupdown on d-p has a timestamp of 2016-01-02 00:10, so I wasn't running into it yesterday. Well, I think I'm blocked here, I can't think around this issue without a local mirror with the older version. Does somebody know a different way forward? CU, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
