Comments/Problems:

while the woody boot floppies worked nicely (only tried afterwards),
using pre-rc2 debian-installer didn't. images were from

http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/2004-09-30/powerpc/

detailed diagnosis:

floppy/boot.img:
bootloader seems to work fine, soon as the penguin logo and the linux
bootmessages should come up, display is completely garbled.

floppy/ofonlyboot.img:
bootloader seems to work fine, penguin logo comes up in green colors,
no further output.

floppy-2.4/boot.img, floppy-2.4/ofonlyboot.img
nice little penguin/monitor logo comes up, but is soon crossed out in red...


since there was some problem with scsi setup of the hard disk, the
final install (probably using woody floppies), is yet to happen next
friday (2004-10-08), if you want me to do any kind of testing
(ie. trying with rc1), before going that way, please let me know. i am
also available as "lefant" on #debian-ppc on freenode.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
