Hi, I've just uploaded a new set of Alpha-bootdisks to http://people.debian.org/~thimo/ They are still with a manually made to get around the libm-library-reduction problem (any binutils knowing folks around?). However I succeeded in booting them, installing kernel and drivers. Unfortunately, when I tried to configure the modules I just saw a segfault flashing by being overwritten by dbootstrap again :( Strangely, nothing about this got written to the logs... Anyway, manually inserting the modules worked, configuring the network with DHCP and downloading the packages, too! But even here several segfaults flashed by. At the end I got a window telling me that dbootstrap exited with a return code of 139. Daring as I am I rebooted and had a totally unusable system as /etc/fstab wasn't written... Basically, there is still much to do, but as I have to have my diploma thesis finished in three weeks and still have no useful results, I won't be dealing very much with the disks... Now, all Alpha owners with a bit of C-knowledge should try to debug the stuff because Debian 3.0 wouldn't be that great without Alpha... ;-) CU Thimo -- Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 semi-frozen!
