and it should be recognized as a chrp_rs6k, so joeyh, i believe there is something seriously broken in rootskel, not sure though. Harald, can you still try one thing, during the install, go to console 2, and grep chrp in /var/lib/cdebconf/* (or well, search for the file, i think you get the idea, the cdebconf file has an entry for the subarch field, filled in by lib-d-i, at least it used to be this way.
Hi Sven, *, in /var/lib/cdebconf/ are the following files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 11:33 passwords.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17867 Oct 10 11:33 questions.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1181753 Oct 10 11:33 templates.dat "grep chrp /var/lib/cdebconf/*" gives no result. Then i did: cd /var grep chrp * grep chrp */* grep chrp */*/* grep chrp */*/*/* and i did it with the expression "CHRP", all of them gave no match.
Well, on your boxes which have logical partitioning, we need the /proc/cpuinfo.
Here we go: (on a partition with 2 logical processors available) tickv1:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : POWER5 (gr) clock : 1656.416000MHz revision : 2.1 processor : 1 cpu : POWER5 (gr) clock : 1656.416000MHz revision : 2.1 timebase : 207052000 machine : CHRP IBM,9124-720 tickv1:~# Greetings, Harald
