Bug#275784: sparc32 vmlinuz mis-labelled sparc64 in d-i pre-rc2 boot.img
Package: install
Version: pre-rc2
I am using debian-installer pre-rc2 on a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation Model 170 (A11) using a
boot floppy image boot.img from here:
http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-09-29/sparc32/floppy/
and here:
http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-09-29/sparc32/floppy/2.6/
>From what I understand this should have automatically tried to load the vmlinuz-sparc32
image but instead it automatically fails trying vmlinuz-sparc64 (it says something like "cannot
find vmlinuz-sparc64 (unknown ROMFS error)" and stops).
I can manually type 'boot=/vmlinuz-sparc32' and it succesfully finds it and tries to unpack it
(tho, an unrelated problem, it fails to fully unpack it, presumably bcos I wrote the disk on i386
when the Sparc wants the disk written on a Sun m/c).
I have the same problem with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel boot floppy images
