Package: installation-reports Boot method: cdrom Image version: debian-40r0-powerpc-CD-1.iso,07-Apr-2007,17:42,629M Date: today Machine: IBM p5 model 510 inside LPAR Processor: Power5+ Memory: 1G Partitions: not reached this stage Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: "no output" Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] (only install64, install crashes on ramdisk init) Detect network card: [E] module ibmveth for virtual ethernet is missing Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [E] md5sum warnings, missing files Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: Network install without ibmveth module is not a good idea in case there is no physical adapter attached to the lpar - p.e. usage of IVM and not HMC. Do testing images exist, which I can use? I tried also the netinst iso and burned it on some other writer. I checked the md5sums of the downloaded isos - they have been ok. Thus I think, the media I booted the lpar are ok. /var/log/syslog shows the following entries: Apr 18 12:56:34 cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount succeeded: device=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd Apr 18 12:56:34 cdrom-detect: Detected CD 'Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 "Etch" - Official powerpc CD Binary-1 20070407-14:58' Apr 18 12:56:48 cdrom-detect: Detected CD with 'stable' (etch) distribution ...
