Package: base-installer
Version: 1.70

After a successful installation of the d-i daily netinstall build from:

cdimage.d.o:/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20070103-2/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso

on a Motorola PowerStack II, rebooting the fresh installation failed,
because the kernel option root=/dev/sda2 (in my case) was missing. As
soon as I've added this to the options listed on the mkvmlinuz boot prompt,
disk booting succeeded. IMHO, this is not a grave bug, but it prevents
automatic booting.

Short comment from Sven Luther attached:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ROOT=/dev/sda2 should be added to the
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.config
file, probably in base-config, and then this one will be no more an
issue.

Please fill a bug report against base-installer about this, maybe i will
provide a patch, we will see.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The content of /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.config after installation:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# initramfs.conf
# Configuration file for mkinitramfs(8). See initramfs.conf(5).
#

#
# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
#
# most - Add all framebuffer, acpi, filesystem, and harddrive drivers.
#
# dep - Try and guess which modules to load.
#
# netboot - Add the base modules, network modules, but skip block devices.
#
# list - Only include modules from the 'additional modules' list
#

MODULES=most

# BUSYBOX: [ y | n ]
#
# Use busybox if available.
#

BUSYBOX=y

#
# NFS Section of the config.
#

#
# BOOT: [ local | nfs ]
#
# local - Boot off of local media (harddrive, USB stick).
#
# nfs - Boot using an NFS drive as the root of the drive.
#

BOOT=local

#
# DEVICE: ...
#
# Specify the network interface, like eth0
#

DEVICE=eth0

#
# NFSROOT: [ auto | HOST:MOUNT ]
#

NFSROOT=auto
----------------------------------------------------------------------

TIA,
Uli
