The error is somewhere in the bootloader configuration on the images. As the error seems specific to certain types of machines, we (the general d-i developers) need help from you (developers involved with the hppa port) to identify exactly what is missing in the bootloader config and which images are affected. After that, changing the configs for 3.1r1 should be relatively easy. > or drop some drivers from the install media.

It should be possible to change which modules are included in udebs and that could make a (probably minor) difference in the size of the ramdisk. Cheers, FJP
