If you want to install testing, you should either install stable and upgrade or use a daily built CD. > Can you try with images here: > http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-sparc/rc3/ >images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/ These are old, obsoleted images and should not be used anymore. Use either the official Sarge images or the daily built images. Nishant: - What did you change in the image(s) you created? Which problem(s) did that solve? Which kernel are you using? - Would you be willing to do tests with the daily built images and help us resolve some of the issues with sunblade machines? Cheers, FJP
