I've noticed that it is problematic in my case only, because the debian
installer doesn't use a SMP based kernel (yet?). Anyway here's a typical
output of cat /proc/cpuinfo:
8<----
processor : 0
cpu : POWER4+ (gq)
clock : 1452.000000MHz
revision : 2.1
processor : 1
cpu : POWER4+ (gq)
clock : 1452.000000MHz
revision : 2.1
timebase : 181495702
machine : CHRP IBM,7029-6E3
8<----
Since the pseries stuff will obviously not be target for sarge - am I allowed
to prepare the chrp_pseries special handlings in some of the installer
modules? Should I add the partman-prep package in svn now without generating
any problems? It only gets installed on the chrp_pseries subarch, which is
not yet detected by archdetect.
Cheers,
Cajus
