Re: Bug#257988: Install report: PowerMac G4 Cube
I also did this same install with the same hardware and a current
(2000724) net-install iso image. Everything went smoothly except for two
areas:
1) Just like your install, the auto net config did not work. I too made
due with a manual static config. However, unlike you I was able to write
a /etc/network/interfaces that allowed me to use ifup to connect using
dhcp. Unlike your install I was not able to continue after the base
install as apt would not connect to any debian server I tried (in spite
of the fact that I could easily ping them all).
2) The partitioner went ahead an created a "NewWorld Bootblock" per my
selection. But installing yaboot failed, until I was able to manually
select the partition to install it on - an option that doesn't always
appear.
I'm still unable to use dselect, aptitude, or base-install to connect to
any debian server in order to continue this installation. I wonder if
you might have any suggestion that could turn this problem around?
TIA,
Gary
