partman's debian/rules contains this: # has buggy support for dvh partitioning labels, slow ifeq ($(ARCH),mips) MENUITEMNUM=49 This gives partman a lower priority on mips because it's not really usable on SGI machines. However, I have a faster MIPS board which doesn't use DVH but msdos labels, so I'd very much like to use partman. Is anyone working on better support for sub-arches? -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
