Package: debian-installer
Severity: important


Hi,

I tried debian-installer on an iBook G4 with the 20060711 image (IIRC),
and after the install the system didn't boot. The kernel panics (it will
fail uncompressing the initrd). Seems to be a problem with the initrd
living in an XFS partition. Making a ext3 partition for /boot fixed it.

The problem is reported in Ubuntu:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14485

Since I don't expect the fix to be easy, some kind of warning would be
nice, to avoid making users go crazy with this.

Thanks,

Alberto

Well, then doing so (blindly, I must admit, I have no way to check).
