I means that the glibc shipped with Potato doesn't reckognize system type
Nautilus...the link above will make it works. Basically the Nautilus
machines are similar enough to Tsunami machines that we can get away with
calling it a Tsunami (though not for kernel purposes of course). I'm
pretty sure I mentioned this to some of the debian-alpha guys a few weeks
ago.
