Hi,
I have tested the installation with the above image on Sparcstation 10
using the serial console. The image works fine except for a couple of
minor quirks, which do not seem to affect overall functionality (was able
to complete the install just fine):
1. After the initial boot it tries to load modules sunhme (which seems to
be wrong for my hardware - Sparcstation 10) and sr_mod (which is not
included). Following messages appear in /var/log/messages:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26-sparc32/kernel/drivers/net/sunhme.o
insmod: init_module: sunhme: No such device
insmod sunhme
modprobe: failed to load module sunhme
insmod: sr_mod.o: no module by that name found
insmod sr_mod
modprobe: failed to load module sr_mod
2. After the installer components are downloaded, attempt to load sunhme
module is done again and, again, it fails.
3. The pseudographics is screwed up after reboot as reported before and as
shown at http://www.wooyd.org/d-i/second.png
Best regards and good luck with exams,
