Re: Bug#257910: Installation Report ia64 netinst beta4 : no fat16 /boot partition created
The partman on both the sarge daily and sid daily I picked up last week
sometime is seriously broken since it was re-worked. I will test
against the "official" iso noted in the release email. If it is still
broken, we can mark ia64 as failed regressions because not only
does elilo-installer fail but partman doesn't even have the option
to create any f/s other than ext2.
Note: this may only be an anomaly w/ that particular day's iso builds.
I will know more tomorrow or Monday after I test the new iso.
