This should be fixed in tomorrow's images, though I can't test it as my
ia64 has no ps2. I can provide a netboot image for ia64 if you'd like
to
test it sooner.
Thats ok, I can't test it until Monday anyway.
Additionally, the installer failed to recognize part of my preseed
directive:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
and stopped at the screen asking me which disk to partition.
Changing the
string to "/dev/sda" avoided that problem. It works properly with
either choice when booting 2.4.
I cannot reproduce this; I do daily ia64 autoinstalls using the 2.6
kernel and exactly that line to make it use the disk and it has always
worked.
I'll try it again to make sure I didn't fat finger something. What can
I do to debug further if it still fails?
Thanks,
Paul.
