* John Lightsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-22 10:02]: Well I just spent a few hours backing some changes out of arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c and compiling a new 2.4.24 kernel, but I'm coming up empty handed. The diff between 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 is 70 lines long. At any rate, this report

Just tried the newest installer daily build (with 2.4.24 kernel) and it gets through the ide-detect portion without any trouble. I can do everything other than bringing up the network interface. The only other trouble I noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point to the

The only other trouble I noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point to the proper location of my root filesystem. The installer kept going back to the configure network option even though I couldn't bring the network up, so it may be a case where I did something out

Ah, so at no point did you pick Install aboot on a hard disk as an option from the main menu? Do you see this as an option? Is it listed in the wrong place in the menu (i.e., below finish the installation and reboot)? It's not listed as an option on the menu. Should it be there from the

Thanks for the report. We have 2.4.24 kernel images in the archive for d-i, but I hadn't yet switched to using them for the daily builds. This is done now, and tomorrow's ISOs should be 2.4.24-based. Would you be willing to give them a try? I'd be happy to. Is there any way of skipping
