Comments/Problems:
Toward the end of the install, past 70%, the following message
appears:
No installable kernel found
No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.
The current default kernel package is 'kernel-image'.
You may try to continue though this strange error is probably fatal.
The debug console shows the following:
Setting up tasksel (1.44) ...
chroot: cannot execute apt-get: No such file or directory
Is there some reason that this and other powerpc installation reports
are not being followed up on?
Because the ones who care about powerpc are busy right now ? I think it
is exam time for some of them, or they are busy with other stuff. I
myself don't have a pmac, so there is not much i can do, and i think
gaudenz has gone to work on discovery mostly. Don't know about the
others.
Maybe this is the right time for you (or others) to step in and have a
go at fixing this problem, if we want to have good powerpc support by
march 15.
Anyway, i have no idea about the keyboard problem you reported, but
this kernel issue, it should not be problematic. Does choosing unstable
instead of testing make a change here ?
