Public bug reported: Binary package hint: base-installer
* Boot Edgy Desktop CD on a Genesi Pegasos or ODW (you will need a vmlinuz-chrp.initrd kernel for this; see http://www.ppczone.org/ - also remove the BusID and UseFBDev lines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf once it fails, and "startx" to hit the installer. Other bugs reported for those) * Run through the installer until you get to "Prepare mount points" You cannot click Forward from this point. Genesi recommends using the RigidDiskBlock (Amiga) or MBR parititoning schemes as the Firmware understands these and they are most relevant to Linux. Neither of them are supported in the LiveCD, although manually partitioning using Alternative works just fine. You do not need Yaboot if you can install a CHRP initrd kernel using mkvmlinuz. Proposed fixes: * Detect Pegasos (it's fairly easy using info in /proc/device-tree) * Provide "mkvmlinuz" on install CD * Set boot loader to "mkvmlinuz" * Get rid of that warning if Yaboot isn't the required bootloader, and allow installation to proceed. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Edgy Desktop LiveCD install erroneously "requires" NewWorld boot partition (and/or Yaboot) on Pegasos https://launchpad.net/bugs/68626 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
