The CD was downloaded from the URL: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/testing/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/ The boilerplate on that directory says:
Daily build #3 for powerpc, using installer build from squeezeThese images will install the testing version of Debian, currently Squeeze.See the top-level daily directory for more information about the daily builds.This build finished at Tue Mar 24 15:56:34 UTC 2009.
The CD booted fine, it ran thru the normal process of picking a language and keyboard type, loading modules, etc then tried to DHCP a network address. This failed because there's no DHCP server on that network. I manually configured the network numbers, and it got its name from the DNS server (so I didn't fat-finger the network configuration)
Then it was time to configure a mirror, and I chose the default: ftp.us.debian.org . This resulted in the "Bad archive mirror" error.
When I switch to the <alt>-F2 console and try to do a "wget", I get a segmentation fault.
I tried the PowerPC netinst install CD from the same directory, with the same results.
Hope this helps to analyze the bug... Rick On Mar 22, 2009, at 5:38 AM, Alexander V.Inyakin wrote:
