Hi, after a couple of months of absence i found time to try the installation for debian-mips (SGI Indy/IP22). Everything works as expected, completely flawless except the final end. The installer asks for making the disk bootable which it can by putting the linux kernel into the volume header. Then it tells you to set some prom vars on reboot. After that it jumps back to the "main" menu but the cursor is still on top of "Make bootable from disk" thus pressing enter like everywhere in the installer leads to go through the above steps again. Pressing return on the "Reboot the system" also does not work. I guess this is a Kernel issue but probably Guido knows more - Just pressing reset in that case leads to "Unclean shutdown" with resulting fsck. Just unmounting the /target drives and telling the user to press the reset button would be a good alternative. On initial reboot the "tzconfig" execution fails with a "segfault". This might be due to the "R4600" cpu i have thus i dont care much. It never has been that easy to install a Indy - Thanks Guido and all the others keeping up the work.
