Bug#237573: PPC install report
Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 11042004 business card CD
uname -a: (This is the uanem from my previously installed unstable partition)
Linux polo 2.4.25-powerpc #1 jeu mar 4 13:53:12 CET 2004 ppc GNU/Linux
Date: 8am Friday, March 12 CET
Method: CD install from businesscard image
Machine: Apple iBook (original G3 clamshell design)
Processor: PPC G3
Memory: 192M
Root Device: ide, /dev/hda11
Root Size/partition table: Here's the full partition table. You can see that
the CD I used is still in /dev/hdc. Notice that for Apple PPC machines,
having all these partitions is normal: Apple uses them for drivers, so
anyone dual-booting an Apple PPC machine will have tables similar to this.

Comments/Problems:
Two problems: the first was that it wouldn't give me a list of keyboards. I
hit return when it was on the "Select Keyboard" entry, but it would just
return to the main screen. I also tried CD detection which worked, and it
gave me a list of modules that it wanted to try to load. I said OK, but then
it complained about some of them (I only remember the Sun GEM one, but there
were a couple of others it couldn't find).
I did not try to complete the install. (In fact, I was only going to see if
the partman problem I reported previously was fixed.)
