Re: Ultrasparc Sarge (Testing) InitRD
System: Ultrasparc, 1GB RAM, twin 9GB 7,200rpm HDs
Attempting, for three days -- many different ISO images -- to
Install, via ANY method Sarge (Testing.)
All daily CDs fail for various reasons. The closest, READ "most
successful" is found at -
ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-sparc/rc1/images/
However, during "expert" mode, while trying to select a Kernel to
install (I've tried them all that are listed for SUN4U) I repeatedly
get Cannot install a Kernel Image which expects InitRD -- which ISN'T
installed either.
I've spent a few days attempting to reseach how to configure the boot
loader when the bootloader worked well enough to download a selection
of kernel choices - ALL of which REQUIRE nitRD to be configured...
=/
So, my question/BUG report is -
Why not just "configure" that initRD parts is wants and stop bombing
out on "Figgin Abort cuz there's no way to change the installation on
the friggin fly?"
Am I insane or is this NOT better/properly documented on the Support
site? googling gives millions or hits which is about worthless...
Should I just stay with Solaris 9 and be bored out of my mind? or am
I
missing something easily fixed to get ther kernel installed?
Help?
