Comments/Problems:
Partman failed to partition 2GB disks. Both manual and automatic partitioning failed.
After creating a 0,1GB /boot partition the remainung disk space is miscalculated as 771kByte.
An error message said: Disk to small for automatic partitioning....
This came true for a ST32171WS and an IBM DCAS-32160.
Putting everything on a single "large" partition failed, too.
Apt-cache search found no package containing partman. I used another Sparc box to do the partitioning using parted.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
>From dmesg:
linuxrc[7]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Freeing unused kernel memory: 128k freed
umount[11]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
cat[12]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Comments: Great ! Debian works on a Sparc32 ! Please continue support for Sparc hardware.
In the bug report, describe what the problem is, including the last visible kernel messages in the event of a kernel hang. Describe the steps that you did which brought the system into the problem state.
Regards
Jörn

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.
