Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: 19-Sep-2004 20:39 http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img uname -a: Linux (none) 2.6.8-1-sparc64 #1 Sat Aug 28 04:28:53 PDT 2004 sparc64 unknown Date: Mon Sep 20 19:57:37 CEST 2004 Method: Booted from network via DHCP and TFTP. DHCP and TFTP server were only a hub away. Command lines at PROM prompt were a) boot net:bootp b) boot net:bootp debconf/frontend=newt c) boot net:bootp hurz debconf/frontend=newt d) boot net:bootp debconf/frontend=text Machine: Sun Ultra 1 SBus (UltraSPARC 143MHz) Processor: TI UltraSPARC I (SpitFire) Memory: 256MB Root Device: 2x 2GB SCSI Root Size/partition table: n/a Output of lspci and lspci -n: /bin/sh: lspci: not found Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: First, the installation manual talks about "boot net:dhcp", but my machine tries to boot via ARP if I use that. Please mention "boot net:bootp" as an alternative. When I boot with any of the four boot commands, bogl somewhat locks up the display. If I change to another VC, the cursor will reappear, but as soon as I type one character, the cursor disappears, and the character is not shown. When I switch to another VC and back, the cursor is back, and the character displayed, as it should be. I can blindly type "ls<enter>", the output appears after switchung to another VC and back. The error message of bogl is: "bogl: mmapping /dev/fb0: No such file or directory". /dev/fb0 does not exist, but /dev/fb/0 does. Symlinking /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb/0 didn't help. Init constantly respawns the installation system, and I didn't find out how to stop it. I edited /etc/inittab and replaced /sbin/debian-installer with /bin/sh and did kill -HUP 1, but that only got me a shell in addition to the constantly respawning bogl on vc1. For commandline c) I looked at /proc/cmdline, the contents is indeed "hurz debconf/frontend=newt".
