Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP

Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: boot-floppy
Version: 2.2.23-2001-04-15
Severity: wishlist
Just FYI, Potato's rescue floppy does not seem to boot on a legacy-free
PC. The syslinux versions before 1.50 seem to have bugs on handling
such a PC, and Potato still uses 1.48.
Possibly, the kernel should have USB support compiled in, too.
This issue may require more investigation but unfortunately I do not
have either free time or direct access to such a PC now. Is Woody's one
ready for such a PC?

I disagree. The -idepci and -compact flavors work fine on such
machines, generally. I'm not sure we support USB keyboards per se,
but this bug is too vague to be useful.

If so, file a bug on syslinux that it needs the new version.

That's something to file against kernel-image-* packages.

It should be. If you have specific issues, please file them on the
specific packages in question.
Again, this bug is too vague, doesn't report any defininate problem
for boot-floppies, so I'm closing it.
