Bug#252588: install: Installation fails on Sparc Ultra 10

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Package: install
Severity: important

The bug report is related to the following ISO images:

http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/20040602/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/tc1/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/beta4/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso

All these three were tested with the identical result.

The boot process stops with the following error

  TCP: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0
  cramfs: wrong magic
  sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0)
  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
   Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

This is the case on a

    Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 333MHz)
    OpenBoot 3.15, 256 MB memory installed

machine.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
