Re: m68k debian-installer call for testers
Little success here to report. I have not managed to get a 2ci to boot
on the images at all (penguin gets to ABCEFGHIJ) and my quadra950
reports that their are several instances of
EXT2-fs error ....Wrong free inode count in group 0 (and group1 and
superblock)
leading to a kernel panic - fails to load the root filesystem
