Please let me know if you get those problems. Note that I still
haven't decided whether to enable i18n at all on PowerPC images or
not; I'd like to but obviously it's gotta function first ... :)
It doesn't yet, just tried those images and same result: flashing
screen after init
I'm getting better behavior with this patch. It is still rebooting,
but at least it is telling me that there was an error loading some
messages, and I can read it, rather than just a flashing screen.

yah, my mistake
I noticed another problem though as I was idly reading
dbootstrap/pcmcia.c:
#define PCMCIA_CONF_FILE /target/etc/pcmcia.conf
In recent pcmcia-cs packages, this has relocated to /etc/default/pcmcia.
I don't know if pcmcia-cs will notice the old file at all -- doubt it. I
suspect this
Looks like pb hit the nail on the head.

I committed the newt hack, and filed a number of other bugs, the only
complete show-stopper however is this one:

I believe this is what causes the Packages.gz corrupt problem that aph

From my scan of the debian-boot list, I take it these bugs are holding
3.0.18 release:
Bug#123387 -- busybox wget won't work with debootstrap anymore
yup, based on what Matt wrote
The issue was the wrong library to begin with getting put on the root
disk, I think. We've seen lots of conflicting successes and failures
on this one so it is difficult to be certain. Hopefully I can get
somethign built/tested and uploaded today or tomorrow and that will
clear things up.
trying another version,

I get exactly the same behavior with this one.
FWIW I just installed two systems using the idepci/reiserfs flavors
built out of current cvs, perhaps UML is causing the bad behavior?

Word-wrap on French release notes is wrong, this probably affects other langs
