What package version did you use from woody? Latest from unstable at the time the pkg was built. Probalby whatever is still latest from unstable, it doesn't change often. The latest version (-8) is from Dec. 7. I'd better install that from the archive instead of using the one from my

So how do the ramdisks get built these days? Just copy the binaries over? Well, they get stripped first, see scripts/rootdisk/strip-executables.sh. The kind of ELF damage that we're seeing here is usually a symptom of using a strip that expected to target another architecture, or had some

Hmmm.. looks like ash tries to execute mac-fdisk as a shell script? Apparently the mac-fdisk binary is corrupted somehow. There's already a bug open on this: I don't know if those builds of boot-floppies were just bad for some reason, or the binary in the archive is actually broken,

Maybe the library reduction went astray? Not that mac-fdisk uses a lot of weird libraries. Can you send me that binary for closer inspection? It's all in dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/3.0.18-2001-12-21/powermac/ramdisk.image.gz Bite me :-) At least you did provide part of an URL. I'll

It seems like some sort of bad build on my part. The package in woody I don't think has changed since the previous build. Hmm. What package version did you use from woody? ldd on your binary gives 'not a dynamic executable'. objdump needs the -m flag to do anything with the file (so the ELF
