Comments/Problems:
G5 PowerMac7,3 (970FX CPU) needs the power4 kernel to boot.
However, when using the default install (install-power4 at the yaboot
prompt) and where the system is getting ready to reboot after
installing the base system it actually installs the
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc kernel, even though I chose -power4 for my
initial boot from CD! As a result the reboot (and so the install)
fails!
When using expert-power4 to install I get to pick my kernel so I can
choose kernel-image-2.6.8-power4 and the reboot is fine (since the
latest version in Sarge now supports the 970FX processor).
In expert mode I would say d-i works nearly perfectly. The only issue
is the RAID and LVM menu options don't actually work (discussed
recently on debian-boot and debian-powerpc, I will file a bug
separately). Great job folks! I have not installed Debian since before
Woody went stable: this is a huge improvement.
This machine has yet to transition to being my daily workstation so I
will be happy to help test d-i for this kind of hardware.

Changes:

.
* Frans Pop
- Add sanity check in postinst for empty COMPONENTS to guard against
ugly and difficult to trace errors from debootstrap. Closes: #283510.
* Colin Watson
- Use chrp 2.4 kernel on all powerpc chrp* subarchitectures, even
chrp-rs6k. The chrp-rs6k 2.4 kernel is to be removed.
- Map lasat subarchitecture to r5k-lasat flavour on mipsel.
- Recognise POWER4+ and PPC970FX cpuinfo entries as power4 systems.
Closes: #290702
- Only look at the first cpu line in cpuinfo on powerpc.
