Installer moduleloading routine problem
Hi! Ive been using stable for a while now so i thought ill give the nsarge install CD's a go. I downloaded the Sarge netinstall beta CD's, and everything went fine. Except In my box there's a little problem which i have to face everytime i face a new distro. I have 3 IDE Disks. 2 of them are all OK, but one of them has 1 pin missing, the one that is above the hole. This has happend because of me connecting the cable upside down one time, the type of cable doesnt have that hole in the middle, instead it's just flat. That resulted in breaking the pin of course. Now, it doesn't really concern the work of the disk, just that you have to disable UDMA, because according to my book, that's what this pin is assigned to (it has some revelnce to it in other words). Windoze usually sees a problm with UDMA, and turns it off for the disks, and all goes well. In Linux usually appending the ide=nodma switch also works. Hoever, in the sarge netinstall procedure the modules are loaded after the kernel loads, so that rules out passing that variable on boot-time. It should be noted that if i don't tell Linux SPECIFICALLY NOT to use UDMA, the boot process will hang in the detecting partitions part, and will standstill. (RedHat9 here is an exception. On thier Boot-CD's their kernel will wait for a while, display a timeout error, then continue, and the disk IS THERE.) So, i suggest doing something for ppl to disable the UDMA switch. Or maybe there IS a way to pass that variable to the kernel, that i don't know of. Any thoughts? Movi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

changes to debian-cd and the cdimage daily build of netinst images
Hi! Yesterday night I commited some changes to debian-cd and did some changes to the daily build of netinst images. The changes I did to debian-cd consisted of moving yaboot data (yaboot.conf and boot.msg to the specific release subdir where they belonged, this is from data/yaboot to data/$CODENAME/yaboot, I also changed boot-powerpc for potato and woody, the only files affected by this change. I still have not removed the moved files but if nobody complains I'll do that tomorrow, leaving only ofboot.b which is common to all releases till now at data/yaboot. I also have added the boot-powerpc script and the files for yaboot we are using now for sarge at gluck, we are still missing some subarches there though. Comments on these changes are welcome. You may have already seen the changes to the daily build of netinst cds at gluck, the thing is that we are building the daily cds at http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/$ARCH/daily/ while we maintain a good copy of old images at http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/$ARCH/ where good means that its debian installer is not too broken and is supposed to be working quite well, the daily images can work even better, but may also not work at all, this may be the case right now, we'll be moving the images from daily to .. when we have reports of them working more or less like the old ones.

Multiple local repositories and debian-cd
I maintain a complete i386 mirror and a local repository; in the past, I've generated CDs from this without too much problem (though I find it confusing as hell). I've since split my local repository in twain, separating out the backported packages from the locally-developed packages. I'd like to cut a CD set consisting of the official set, a CD of the backported packages, and a CD of the local packages. Can I do this? How?
