I think this is fixed in cvs version of base-installer. Default kernel
version wasn't the lastest.
I won't be able to try this out until it gets to testing (4 more days). 
 Installs from unstable fail because there is no build for the latest 
version of exim4 (4.30-7).

Now that sparc images are autobuilding, I will try as soon as they show 
up (on gluck, I'm guessing?).

Comments/Problems:

Installed unstable.

With the standard boot I was not given the choice of setting up static 
addressing so I ended up using 'linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium'.  Also, I 
had to specify language en rather that en_US so I could select my 
country and an appropriate (fast) local mirror (sunsite.ualberta.ca).

The base system install failed with the following:

-
Base system installation error
The deboostrap program exited with an error (return value 127).
/var/log/messages ended with:

Errors were encountered while processing
  exim4-daemon-light
  mailx
  at
  exim4
  exim4-config
  exim4-base
/usr/sbin/deboostrap: 1: sleep: not found
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: No such file or directory
-
The latest versions of exim4-daemon-light and exim4-base (4.30-7) depend 
on libgnutls10 but have not shown up in the archives for sparc.  The 
older versions (4.30-5) depend on libgnutls7 which is not installed. 
The failure to configure exim causes the failures for mailx and at.

The version of busybox on the CD does not have sleep (applet not found) 
and neither does last night's image.

Bug#236364: SPARCstation 5 installation report

2004-03-05 Thread Peter Karbaliotis 
I went back and set the install to use testing, copied /target/bin/sleep 
and /target/lib/librt.so.1 to /bin and /lib, respectively and wiped the 
prevous installation.

This time it actually got to the point of installing a kernel image. 
Unfortunately, the installer chose kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc64-smp when 
it should have chosen kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32.

Getting closer...
