Version: 2.2.13
Severity: critical
the install os kernel & modules i not working on ppc/apus.
i did it, and got the following log :
- installing kernel & modules from
/target/home/debian/dists/potato/disks-powerpc/current
- running cmd `mount -r -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /floopy'
- mounting /dev/loop0 on /floppy failed : Invalid argument
- Unable to mount the Rescue floppy, you may have inserted the wrong
floppy, please try again.
Also i tried it by hand :
$ mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop0 rescue.bin /floppy
Mounting root.bin on /floppy failed : Block device required.
The same goes with an (uncompressed) root.bin.
I have loop builtin the kernel and still it does not work, also the /dev/loop0
has the same properties as on the i386 box i have also.
The strangest thing is that once i hand installed the modules and completed
the install (no need for a kernel because it resides on the amigaos side of
the harddisk, there not being any lilo like stuff for apus) i tried again the
same command :
$ mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop0 rescue.bin /floppy
And it worked without problem.
As the apus boot floppies porter, i should solve this problem, but i don't
know what to do about it (also i am just now recovering from a total partiton
table screw up by a previous boot-floppy experiment, don't know still what
happenend then). But if no solution is found to this, i plan to add a "install
OS modules" option in the dbootstrap menu, that will install only the modules
from the drviers.tgz tarball which is built anyway.
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER

Thank you very much for your bug report. We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1. That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.
If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.
We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues. If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it. Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.
Again, thanks for your report. Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
