Maybe I tried too soon, but the netinst image dated 3/3/06 01:29
is still broken. The installer kernel is 2.6.12
~ # uname -a
Linux (none) 2.6.12-1-powerpc64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 27 15:20:16 UTC 2005 ppc64 unknown
This time I remembered to check dmesg to see what symbol sbp2 lacked:
~ # dmesg | tail
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver
SCSI subsystem initialized
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
Linux Kernel Card Services
options: [pci] [cardbus]
ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394'
sbp2: Unknown symbol bus_to_virt
so apparently 'bus_to_virt' is the trouble maker.
