Unfortunately not, it was on another mac :(
Also, I noticed that base-config in the iso I have generated yesterday with the mini-iso.sh script is a version 1.33.13.
Quite old when the current is .17 (.18 for sid).
I have tried some stuff to stop the loop an d finally did a chmod -x in the directory wher the script were located.
This has finished the install in 1 sec ! :)
So, just the base is installed. I had to finish the install 'with my hands'.
The system is now up and running.
For the mac with SCSI, I still dont get what is wrong. As it has worked with mandrake, I am sure the hardware is supported by the kernel.
If this helps :
when I switch to a shell and dmesg|grep -i scsi, I get
SCSI subsystem driver Revision 1.00
Request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
Request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
I believe the default kernel does not support my SCSI controller.
As I have Debian now running on another mac, I could compile a kernel that fits
my needs, but I dont know how to incorporate it to the linux.bin loader.
