Looks like the building of kernel udebs for sparc32 needs a bit more care. Most likely cause is documented in line 24/25 here: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/branches/d-i/sarge/packages/kernel/linux-kernel-di-sparc/debian/changelog?op=blame&rev=0&sc=0 I have added an erratum on [1] for this issue (new page may not yet be generated). Definitely something to fix with r4. IIUC SRM are planning to have another d-i release with r4 using an updated kernel. Another issue that needs to be addressed is the build problems of the installation guide on some arches when it calls w3c. The m68k porters said they had traced that. Not sure if a BR/patch has been submitted. Cheers, FJP [1]http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/index.en.html#errata
