Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: sarge debian installer, iso image from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/20050321/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso
uname -a:  <unable to execute uname>
Date: 2005 March 21st
Method: boot from cd image burnt on CD-RW
[power on, then] <Stop+A>
[OpenPROM] boot cdrom <Enter>
[SILO prompt] boot: <Enter>

Machine: Sun Blade 150 (with USB mouse and USB keyboard)
Processor: UltraSPARC-IIe 650MHz (sparc64 / sun4u)
Memory: 256 MB
Root Device: ? (for boot it's IDE CD)
Root Size/partition table:  <unable to execute fdisk>

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O] great!

Comments/Problems:

Initial boot is a pleasure. It just worked after pressing <Enter>
on the SILO prompt. No need to specify ramdisk size, or any other
esoteric options. Yummy :)

Finally my old problem (aka bugs #278215 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278215> and #248855 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=248855&archive=yes>) is now resolved
and the USB keyboard works. So I can test what else doesn't work.
And indeed, there are some issues.

Most important is that even though ide-cd and ide-disk modules are
loaded (via insmod - seen this on vt3/vt4), no expected devices are
present. The following directories are empty:

[vt2]# ls /dev/cdroms

[vt2]# ls /dev/ide

So, obviously, "Detecting installation CD-ROM" step fails miserably.

However, I noticed some message about hotplug being loaded, whereas
I couldn't see devfsd anywhere in the process list. Not being sure
what's going on, I'm filling this report.

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.
