Fixing bug #572869: ofpath doesn't work in the absence of /proc/scsi/scsi I will need volunteer help to collect more information about SAS, SATA and SCSI hardware configurations on Power machines. Please use recent beta or daily Debian powerpc install CD to boot your machine. On a POWER or 64bit PowerPC machine type: boot: install64 video=ofonly On a headless machine type: boot: install64 console=ttyS0,9600n8 on a G3/G4 machine type: boot: install video=ofonly Choose your language, location and keyboard. Let the installer load additional installer components. On next screen choose <Go Back>. You may need to repeat <Go Back> until 'Debian installer main menu' shows up. On 'Debian installer main menu' scroll down and choose "Execute a shell." When you get the shell prompt type: mkdir /info uname -a > /info/uname cat /proc/cpuinfo > /info/cpuinfo lspci -v > /info/lspci tar cf /info/device-tree.tar /proc/device-tree find /sys -name host\* -o -name ide\* > /info/hosts find /sys -name proc_name -o -name devspec > /info/specs cat `cat /info/specs` > /info/paths ls -l /sys/class/block > /info/blocks tar cf /info.tar /info Mount a thumb drive, floppy disk, or a hard drive and save the "info.tar" file while renaming it to reflect retail name of the machine. Examples: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt cp /info.tar /mnt/Power520.info.tar umount /mnt or mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt cp /info.tar /mnt/YDLPowerStation.info.tar umount /mnt Then type: eject halt Finally, email the file back. Thank you for your time and efforts, Milan
