Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
I recently installed a new Debian 2.2r0 system using the rescue/root/drivers
combo available on the CD Image. I found I could not get my brand new
tulip.o based Netgear FA 310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter to work with the
2.2.17pre6 packaged and auto-installed with the boot-floppy.
The solution was to get the real 2.2.17 kernel source, but I couldn't get
that without 'net access! A dilemma indeed! I ended up pulling out an old
SMC Ultra (smc-ultra.o) card and using it to download the latest source and
using make-kpkg to generate a proper kernel.
This could cause definate problems for people who don't have an alternative
net card. I would suggest upgrading the boot-floppies source kernel to the
full 2.2.17.
Scott.

boot-floppies (2.2.18) stable; urgency=low
.
* build with Debian 2.2r1 plus updates (closes: Bug#77459)
* Adam Di Carlo:
- i386 and sparc use kernel 2.2.18pre21
(closes: Bug#77425)
- Makefiles: clean is a bit cleaner
- release.sh (i386): also put kernel configs in TOP/<flavor> (hey,
it's a small file); don't leave stranded release/kernel-config file,
put it in the bf-common tarball
- rootdisk.sh: add pcd0 device mknod (closes: Bug#74322), which
MAKEDEV doesn't know about; add gscd and cm206cd devices; remove
some hacks on device creation due to bugs fixed in MAKEDEV
- dbootstrap: quiet bootarg makes more things shut up; disable the
check for root filesystem being on extended partition while LILO is
going on the MBR, because LILO supports this now (closes: Bug#64823);
add new fullscreen_execlog utility function
- debian/control: add Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep
(closes: Bug#70387); remove required package from depends
- documentation: fix links to dselect-beginner (closes: Bug#72870);
add a section in the first chapter talking about where to get Debian
(closes: Bug#71532); other corrections (closes: Bug#70871); fix
linux history link (closes: Bug#76408); enable Polish and Russian
documentation now that newer debiandoc-sgml is in Potato; give
example TFTP file name on SPARC (closes: Bug#40775); mention
problems with booting from IPX (closes: Bug#49172); when reporting
bugs on i386, you must report the flavor
* Josip Rodin:
- documentation: update non-US package numbers
* Eric VanBuggenhaut: French updates
* Marcin Owsiany <porridge@pandora.info.bielsko.pl>:
- Polish updates
- documentation/doc-check script added to help translators stay
up-to-date
- LANGUAGE_CHOOSER integration (closes: Bug#31865) detailed
descriptions follow
.
NOTE: i18n integration is not quite complete, but it is very very
close; it has specifically been kept out of the mainline
version due to some bugs which are expected to be fixed shortly
.
- moved bf-utf from its module to utilities, modified relevant files
accordingly
- Makefile: added conditional build time depends on libpng2-dev
and libpopt-dev
- rootdisk.sh: uses LANGUAGE_CHOOSER for compact and idepci i386 flavors,
in which case it: uses more blocks, adds fb0 ptyp ptyq ptyr ptys
devices, includes a font for bterm, includes a wrapper 'udbootstrap'
and modifies inittab accordingly, includes libutf8_plug.so, bterm,
all messages files, lc-enabled dbootstrap
removed redundand '$' from awk invocations
- utilities/bogl/Makefile: added bterm's font reduction to build process
- utilitise/dbootstrap/Makefile: added rules necessary for creation of
'dbootstrap-lc' - a language-chooser enabled dbootstrap, added configure
runs to generation of libnewt and libslang
- utilities/dbootstrap/po/Makefile: build both normal and utf messages
files by default
- added removal of necessary files to clean rules
* Gleydson Mazioli da Silva: Portuguese updates
