Comments/Problems:
Two issues:
a) The iso has kernel-installer_0.045_all.udeb, even though 0.046 is in
the archive. Presumably we are stuck with that until Joeyh forces 0.046
in to testing. As a result, it installed a 2.4.19 kernel for Itanium,
rather than choosing Itanium or Mckinley 2.4.20 based on /proc/cpuinfo.
b) At some point during loading the installer modules, it spews a load
of text over the screen, such as:
Unknown localized field:
Description-fr.ISO-8859-15: Aucune partition de dmarrage dtecte
That doesn't seem to cause a problem though.
I checked that the sym53c8xx_2 module jbailey wanted was available, so I
think we can say ia64 is ready for beta2. Would be very nice if someone
else could test though.
