uname -a: Linux hephaistos 2.4.25-sb1-swarm-bn #1 SMP Thu Apr 15 20:05:14 BST 2004 mips GNU/Linux
Date: 2004/05/07

Memory: 256MB
Root Device: IDE disk
Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [E/O] (works only with patched kernel, packaged kernel
does not properly recognize the initrd)
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [ ]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]

Comments/Problems:
On the reboot into second stage, the following output occured:
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
Illegal UART type: undefined
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x10060000 (irq = 8) is a undefined
Illegal UART type: undefined
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x10060100 (irq = 2) is a undefined
Looks like the script expects PC-style UARTs, which do not exist on this system.
Configuring the installed packages in 2nd stage failed because arcboot was installed
and could not be successfully configured. After removal of arcboot, everything was ok.
Regards,
Karsten
