Bug#706735: installation-reports: [armhf] Installing an i.MX53 loco
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Boot method: network
Image version: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-armhf/current/images/mx5/netboot/efikamx/uI{mage,nitrd}
Date: 2013-05-03
Machine: Freescale i.MX53 LOCO
Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot: [O]

User/password setup: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [E?]
Install base system: [O]
Install tasks: [O]
Install boot loader: [ ]
Overall install: [O]
Comments/Problems:
* I booted the efika kernel+initrd on my Loco board. I had to overwrite the
uImage's load address because the i.MX53 on the Loco doesn't have RAM at
0x90000000.
* I didn't test it (because I don't have physical access to the system) but
I think the automatic installation would have overwritten the boot loader.
But I admit it's hard to detect where the bootloader is.
* With the original uInitrd the installer fails to select a kernel to install.
The patch for http://bugs.debian.org/706643 fixes that though.
* Again with the original uInitrd one of the last dialogs tells:
You will need to boot manually with the kernel on partition
/dev/mmcblk1p1 and root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 passed as a kernel argument.
This is wrong, because there was no kernel installed.
* I installed via a serial connection (on ttymxc0). It would have been nice
if the installed system had a getty running on that serial line.
Other than that I'm very satisfied with the overall installation.
Thanks
Uwe
