Hi Stephen,
I am currently testing the installer on my MVME167 board with my own
kernel and the nativehd initrd.gz, I specified the above kernel args as
well.
The installer configures my network interface correctly.
I am however running into trouble at mirror selection time. Whatever
mirror I select, I keep getting the message "Architecture not supported
by selected mirror". I made sure I chose a mirror which has it
(debian.cs.binghamton.edu).
When I look in /var/log/syslog I see the following:
Nov 6 21:16:08 choose-mirror[1483]: DEBUG: command: wget -q http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian//dists/etch-m68k/Release -O - | grep ^Suite: | cut -d' ' -f 2
Nov 6 21:16:10 choose-mirror[1483]: DEBUG: command: wget -q http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian//dists/stable/Release -O - | grep ^Codename: | cut -d' ' -f 2
Nov 6 21:16:12 choose-mirror[1483]: INFO: codename set to: etch
Nov 6 21:16:12 choose-mirror[1483]: DEBUG: command: wget -q http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian//dists/stable/main/binary-m68k/Release -O - | grep Architecture
Nov 6 21:16:13 choose-mirror[1483]: DEBUG: Architecture not supported by selected mirror
Nov 6 21:16:19 main-menu[339]: (process:1475): wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Nov 6 21:16:19 main-menu[339]: INFO: Menu item 'choose-mirror' succeeded but requested to be left unconfigured.
When executing the above commands by hand the first wget returns
"etch-m68k", the second returns "etch", the third wget fails. The
puzzling bit is the second wget, why does it download stable/Release?
I cannot continue with the installation at this point, and I don't know
how to get past the above failure manually.
Kind regards,
Kars.
