Bug#248067: Now gets "(=D) is not a directory" error on PPC PowerBook install
Installation was cooking along fine with the 20040523 CD, until:
[!!] Install the base system
Unable to install the selected kernel
An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system.
Kernel package: 'kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-smp-prep'.
Check /var/log/messages or see virtual console 3 for the details.
<Go back> <Continue>
When I eventually found the key combination: Alt/Option THEN Fn THEN
F3, which switches the consoles on the fucking Macintosh, then I found
the message:]
Setting up kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-smp-prep (2.4.25-8) ...
Internal Error: (=D) is not a directory!
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-smp-prep (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
I don't know what this means.
I'm also curious: I saw 2.6 kernels on the CDROM, but there seems to
be no way to select a 2.6 as opposed to 2.4 kernel. Of course,
getting ANY kernel to install automatically on PowerBook would be a
big win.
The current set of kernels on the CD is:
