Please check your pet arch and update the kernel and modules for
2.6.29. This is quite important to us to start testing installer with
this kernel.
Well, 2.6.29 does not even boot on my SunBlade 1000, failing early in
the boot process:
I guess you found the culprit in the mean time (bad config for the 64bit
kernel)?

Hi, Otávio.

Right.
Please check your pet arch and update the kernel and modules for
2.6.29. This is quite important to us to start testing installer with
this kernel.
Not knowing this, I was working with the upstream maintainer of the
rt2x00 driver (as I have a USB wireless card based on this chipset) and
it worked with some small problems with the 2.6.29-rc's.
I debugged some things working with the wireless-next git tree (or
whatever it is called) and it worked a bit better. IIRC, some
non-intrusive patches were introduced, but I don't know if they got
included in the final 2.6.29.
As I usually use my own compiled kernels, I don't know the status of the
Debian kernels (actually, I don't even know how the build process for
the kernel works in Debian), but I can test whatever is needed.
So if your arch is not listed above, you should take a look and try to
update it.
powerpc wasn't listed. What is the current status?
If you can't do that in near future please speakup and we'll try to
find someone to handle it.
I also expressed my desire to get oldworld working, so that I can build
my own buildd here, as some packages in Debian are dragging more and
more dependencies.
Getting miboot and miboot-enabled kernels would be a good thing. And I
can try to see how things are going if the kernel doesn't work...
