Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Note 0:
I used MacOS-9 and the BootX boot loader. I skipped the "install boot
loader" phase of d-i, as a consequence.
Because of the need to preserve the MacOS-9 partition on the disk, I
used the manual partition option in the Partition Hard Drive phase.
Note 1:
During the language/keyboard choice phase, I took all the defaults
(Language->English, Region->UnitedStates, KeyboardType->USB) until it
came to the Keymap choice. There the default was "European". This is
*not* what I expected -- or what was the default behavior in the past!
Having done everything possible to indicate that I was in the USA and
speaking English, I would have expected the default keymap to be
AmericanEnglish.
A serious violation of the principle of least astonishment.
Note 2:
In spite of what lspci says about the ethernet chip being a "Tulip",
it seems to much prefer the "d4x5" driver. I can find nothing in the
output of lspci or in the /proc/device-tree structure that would give
a clue that this is the case. Does anybody know what the difference
between the two drivers is?
In any case, the network initial configuration phases tried to load
the "tulip" driver, but failed to activate the interface with that
driver, so I had to chose the d4x5 driver manually from the fall-back
list of network drivers.
I successfully configured the network addresses/names/etc manually.
That part seems to have been fixed.
Note 3:
The CD-rom drive is on the apple "mesh" scsi controller. I had go to
the F2 console and manually "modprobe mesh" to get it to recognize the
CD-ROM drive and the SCSI disk. Because the mesh driver module was
loaded behind d-i's back (so to speak), d-i didn't know about it, and
as a result, "mesh" wasn't present in /etc/modules after the reboot.
Many oldworld PowerMac's have the "mesh" scsi controller as their
*only* (and in any case *primary*) mass-storage interface. Failure to
load the mesh driver module will make it impossible for inexperienced
users to install Debian on their machines. It seems to me that the
mesh driver should be loaded by default on *all* oldworld PowerMac
machines.
Note 4:
The partitioner seems to default to putting the "noatime" attribute on
new ext3 partitions. This is a violation of the principle of least
astonishment. The default should be standard UNIX behavior!
Note 5:
For reasons I don't entirely understand, wget does not recover well
from occasional dropped packets, so it times-out and fails during the
"install base system" phase. Retrying the phase works (usually,
barring another dropped packet). This is a common enough problem that
it would seem a good idea to automatically re-try a failing wget a few
times before giving up and bugging the user.
Note 6:
Prior to the reboot, I tried to "Save debug logs" to a floppy disk.
It failed because "No floppy device was found". The oldworld Macs all
use the "swim3" floppy controller.
Attempting to manually "modprobe floppy" from the F2 console gives the
error:
FATAL: Error inserting floppy
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-powerpc/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko),
Device or resource busy
Interestingly, floppy.ko has date "Jan 1 1970". All other modules in
that directory have date "Aug 26 14:53". Strange...
Note 7:
The default kernel that is offered in the base install phase is 2.6.7,
even though the d-i is running under the 2.6.8 kernel. When I
manually chose to install the 2.6.8 kernel, the reboot failed. It
hung very early in the boot process -- before the Tux Penguin image
was supposed to appear at the top of the screen.
I had to go back and re-do the install and accept the default 2.6.7
kernel. Very strange!
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
