Package: installer-hppa
Version: 11.08.2006

After installing Etch using:
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-hppa/20060806/images/netboot/2.6
on a HP9000 712/60 I ended up with an unbootable system.
Apparently the installer forgot to include the scsi driver into the initrd so the initrd scripts keep waiting for the new root fs (/) until it times out and drops into busybox. 

Here was my quick fix:
I booted the install again, checked with lsmod which module was needed (in my case lasi700), mounted my filesystems, chrooted to them, added "lasi700" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and recreated the initrd: 
mkinitramfs-kpkg -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-parisc `uname -r`

This issue has been solved in Debian installer quite some time ago. I'm 
therefore closing this report.

For the next Debian release modules for devices on the hppa bus (line 
lasi700) will be loaded automatically by the kernel in combination with 
udev.

Cheers,
FJP
