Bug#373126: debian-installer: [powerpc] 2.6.16 based pegasos installation fails to have a working network.
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Well, i did an install on my pegasos, and there is something apparently wrong
with the netboot images, or the kernel .udebs.
The exact same kernel seems to work in a normal setup, and here, the ethernet
drivers are detected and loaded all right, but dhcp fails, and even having
static configuration doesn't help, nor manual playing with ifconfig (mmm,
didn't we have a ping command in d-i ?).
Since i did a network install, there was nothing much more i could do past
this.
Oh, and whoever is following powerpc d-i bug report, please make sure
mkvmlinuz 22 is installed asap on the daily builds, and it would be best to
also bump the build dep to be mkvmlinuz >= 22 [powerpc].
