Bug#295996: oldworld ppc sid install - success with manual help and quik+2.4.27, failure with 2.6.8



Hi,

some more updates, including a successfull install ;-)
again refering to the issues 1-8...

> on 5.: cause: base-installer/kernel/linux/initrd is set to false, should be
> set to true (line 436 of base-installer's postinst) - svenl said on irc
> this should be fixed in rootskel, but didnt know where. this prevents

fixed with r25866 in trunk and r25864+5 in sarge branch (tested by myself for 
sarge branch only (using the same sid-floppies as in the first install of 
this report - choosing kernel 2.6.8-powerpc and copied the base-installer 
postinst from sarge branch to /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst on 
installation system))

fixed issue 8 in my list as well.

fixed with r25867+8


So I think there are only the issues 1-3 open. 

to 3: it's kbd-chooser, and I find it confusing that I my choices for "Type of 
keyboard" are "USB keyboad" and "no keyboard to configure". This machine has 
a ADB-Keyboard and no USB-Keyboard... If I choose the usb-keyboard, a list is 
prompted, where I can choose language specific keyboards, if I choose no 
keyboard to configure, this list does not appear (which is logical but so I'm 
forced to english keyboard).  Is this a wording problem or something else ?

to 2: will keep in my mind and can be treated as solved (the miboot-issue 
prevents for real rc3 builds anyway...)

to 1: cmp also gets an EOF with 2.6-ppc root.img and 2.6-cd-drivers.img, which 
are both also smaller then 1440k. (but not with i386-root.img as it's 1440k 
as well.)


regards,
 Holger
