then the console doesn't react anymore.
Switch to console 4
there's loads of DEBUG output and a few WARNINGs scrolling over the screen
'debian-installer' must be running, 'ps ax' in the busybox confirms this
switching back to console 1 does not change screen (still like console 2)
but pressing enter on console 1 provokes another load of DEBUG output on 4
'debian-installer' is still running, just the console is fucked up
pressing enter again in 1 -> more output on 4
it's doing DHC now, gets an IP
pressing enter on 1 again
last line on 4 now: "DEBUG: virtual package configured-network"
My assumptions are the following:
- The message "Unimplemented SPARC system call 188" is not related to
my problems.
- Somehow the installer manages to freeze the console.
If I start 'debian-installer' in the busybox, there is no further output
on this console 2 (it's frozen like 1).
I try to find a serial cable, so I can send full transcripts.
Woody was installed on this box before, but the harddisk was a bad bloke ;)
I booted that old system (with '/' mounted read-only) and got the same
"Unimplemented SPARC system call 188" messages, though the rest seems to
work fine.
Hope this is -hm- comprehensible.
I'll be happy to answer questions (and receive hints, of course)
