Version: 2.35
Severity: normal
failed to install Debian 4.0r4a powerpc on an IBM 52a using VIOS 1.5 with virtual optical drive
- created an LPAR
- connected to the internal virtual lan with access to the world
- 32GB logical volume from VIOS served via virtual scsi to LPAR
- virtual optical drive ('mounted an iso-file (with debian) to the
lpar')
- then booted from the virtual cd
- installer loads FROM the virtual cd!
- scans for CD and then says:
"The cd-rom drive contains a cd which cannot be used for
installation."
- i verified with md5sum that the iso-file is not damaged
file: debian-40r4a-powerpc-netinst.iso
