Hi,
Sorry for the wide distribution - enclosed below is Attilio's
instructions for the unaccelerated driver copied to debian-powerpc as
he requested.
I attempted what Attilio suggests with Sven's Dec 2 daily build.
When I start debian-installer from the command line I get a flash on
my screen and I'm back to the shell prompt (<aha> so now I know d-i is
just repeatedly restarting when I boot with the default front end
</aha> :)
Looking in dmesg I see (copied by hand)
ioctl32(debconf:1129) Unknown cmd fd(6) cmd(00004700){00} arg(0f394e70) on /dev/fb/0
One such line is written each time I start d-i.
It means nothing to me, but I suspect some one out there might be able
to tell if this information helps?
