Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: 19-Sep-2004 20:40 http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/boot.img uname -a: Linux (none) 2.4.27-1-sparc64 #1 Mon Aug 23 23:59:55 PDT 2004 sparc64 unknown Date: Mon Sep 20 20:45:05 CEST 2004 Method: Booted from network via DHCP and TFTP. The DHCP and TFTP server is only a hub away. Boot commands used: a) boot net:bootp b) boot net:bootp debconf/frontend=newt c) boot net:bootp debian-installer/framebuffer=false Machine: Sun Ultra 1 SBus (UltraSPARC 143MHz) Processor: TI UltraSPARC I (SpitFire) Memory: 256MB Root Device: <IDE? SCSI? Name of device?> Root Size/partition table: Feel free to paste the full partition table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where. Output of lspci and lspci -n: 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: Initial boot ------------ I had to use "boot net:bootp", but the installation manual only talks about "boot net:dhcp" (and "boot net", but that's for RARP). "boot net:bootp" should be added to the installation manual. When booting with any oth the three boot commands (see above) bogl starts but doesn't draw anything on the screen. I can change the VC, but when I change back to VC1 the cursor disappears and the contents of the previous VC remains on the screen. The log on VC4 looks like debian-installer thinks it is displaying the main menu.
