Hello, first, I'm not following debian-powerpc@ at the moment, so please forgive me, if I ask some questions twice. | I'm still trying to install sarge on my new powerbook 15". Now I can | boot linux from the cdrom | (openfirmware> boot cd:,install\powermac\yaboot) doesn't the cdrom image boot automaticly by holding the >c< key? Maybe this doesn't work on newer powerbooks? | debian-installer launches (but I still have these problems: | --- | modprobe: failed to load module usb-ohci | modprobe: Can't locate module usbkbd | modprobe: Can't locate module keydev | modprobe: Can't locate module usbserial | --- | maybe these are only warnings. it did not fail). should be ok. Powerpc doesn't have those modules at the moment. The kernel should support all required hardware out-of-the-box. | Then, d-i asks my language. no segfault here? :) | Then, impossible to mount a partition. I did not try the | auto-partitionner (I read the list! ;)). So I did execute a shell and | mount /, /home and 'swapon', then exit. the partitioner doesn't start? no question about the retriever type? Maybe you should try to install with a lower priority. Set DEBCONF_PRIORITY=normal on the openfirmware prompt. | Then I did install the base system but it fails to 'download'(?!) | exim4. I did verify and exim4 _is_ on the cdrom! hmm. | Keep doing the good job, I'll re-try tomorrow. | | Thanks for your work, thanks for your report. Please test it again :-) Bye Thorsten
