Package: linux-image-2.6.14-1-powerpc64
Version: 2.6.14-2
Severity: important

Trying to install linux-image-2.6.14-1-powerpc64 from unstable yields
the following error:

 You already have a NoLOADER configuration in /etc/.conf
 Install a boot block using the existing /etc/.conf? [Yes]
 There was an error with running , a log file is
 available in file /var/log/_log.7153.  Please edit /etc/.conf
 manually and re-run , or make other arrangements to boot
 your machine.
          Please hit return to continue 

The file mentioned above has just one line saying:

 sh: line 1: /sbin/: is a directory

I tried not installing the boot block and generating it again, but I get
the same error.

The package can be installed by saying no to "using existing /etc/.conf" and to "wipe out your old NoLOADER ..."

Hi, 

We believe that more recent debian kernels work fine on powerpc 64bit
hardware, i just recently made installs of it on IBM JS21 blades and an Apple
XServe G5, without any of the problems you reported.

I am thus closing this bug, if you see it still with recent kernels, please
reopen it with more information.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
