I've taken a first step towards debugging the sarge boot problems on the Multia. At http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/alpha-etch-with-old-aboot.iso, you can find a current etch "mini-iso" image built with the aboot from woody (aboot 0.9-1). If people can try this on their Multias and let me know whether it boots, that would be appreciated; I don't have a Multia to test on. Also, has anyone tried using one of the netboot images on the Multia? If it's relevant, I can provide hacked netboot images as well to save people the trouble of repeatedly burning CDs; but I haven't heard anyone report problems with netboot on the Multia, just CD booting. The last thing I need is for someone to confirm for me that using unmodified woody install CDs also works on these same Multia systems that can't boot sarge. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
