Actually, it's quite useful -- for writing to mac-formatted (HFS)

when all else has failed.
For that kind of thing, I wouldn't bother with filesystems, and just
dd or tar to the raw medium.

Hi,
apparently, the PowerPC CD images of d-i completely lack the 2.6 SCSI
module .udebs. More precisely, the packages:
scsi-modules-2.6.8-flavour,
scsi-core-modules-2.6.8-flavour, and
scsi-common-modules-2.6.8-flavour
are missing entirely for

I see. So adding the .udebs just fixed the symptom of my problem by
chance, while the actual bug is

Hi,
The current PowerPC kernel-image packages, i.e. revision 2.6.8-3,
contain a built-in command line that enables most PReP systems to boot
unattended from hard disk. It would be nice if the command line was
correct for the installation images as

This renders the sym53c8xx driver completely useless, since it depends
on that

Hi,
in their current form, the PowerPC CD images are not bootable on PReP
machines. However, mkhybrid/mkisofs supports adding PReP boot image
files through the -prep-boot option, it would be nice if at least
vmlinuz-prep.initrd could be enabled this

Not sure, but is this not kernel-package defaulting to quik for prep

It was definitely quik-installer, since it proudly announced its

Hi,
Subject says it all. This shouldn't happen, since the quik bootloader

Hi,
apparently, the latest build (20040802) lacks a couple of low-level
SCSI modules, among them scsi_transport_spi.ko. This hit me
yesterday, when installing on a IBM RS/6000 43P-100, and as a result,
the system didn't find its hard disks. I looked

Why not use discover in mkinitrd instead?

Well, having it automatically called on the subarches that need it.
You should be able to put it in the postinst_hook in

Yeah, sure, but i think there is a misunderstanding. the duty of

On reflection, considering my lack of ability to test this stuff, I've

I've just tested the latest daily build on a Sparc Ultra 10, and while
the kernel starts fine now (contrary to beta4), the installation

is it the good way to install Debian from another distribution?
debootstrap is definitely the way to go.
