Without -nographic a prompt on yellow screen appears where you can type something to boot an installer. I think this is an error in how you're trying to boot the installer or your qemu invocation rather than a bug. I don't really know anything about powerpc myself, nor how to use qemu for powerpc, so I suggest you ask on the debian-powerpc list for help. Changing the -boot d to -boot c gives access to the installed system with full serial support from the quik bootloader so I don't think this is the case. The installer does have serial console support and I'm not aware of any issues with that on real powerpc hardware. Perhaps on hardware different from the one qemu emulates?

Can you provide the boot log for the installer somehow? I can provide a boot log of the installed system or that of an installer running with graphics or the installation report with graphics (I think the installer saves some such thing somewhere). I cannot run the installer without graphics. It could be that the installer is actually running but does not print anything on the serial port but I doubt that is the case because with graphics I have to type the name of the image to boot.

Right, and that suggests to me that it's not an *installer* issue, but at most a bootloader configuration problem for the CDs. As I've said before, I (and most others on the Installer team) have zero knowledge of powerpc. Please try to find out what's wrong or needed on the d-powerpc list where all the port experts hang out. If a needed change is identified we'll be happy to help get it implemented. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
