This is not really a bug, so much as a limitation of the architecture; the only way to ensure a reboot automatically boots to the right device is for debian-installer to be able to map reliably between Linux device names and SRM device names, which is a quite difficult problem that no one seems to have done any work on yet. > -After the kernel is loaded, I see some normal messages on the console, until > he tries to load the scsi-driver.

Do you know what kernel ended up installed on your system? (Either from remembering choosing one during the install, or from the boot-time messages?) To my knowledge, this is still a problem if you try to install a 2.6 kernel in testing, but this bug is fixed for me when installing a 2.4 kernel. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
