Hello,
since I have not seen them in the errata, I'll list them here. If I
should file a "proper" installation report, I can do this.
*)video=ofonly is not, and cannot be set, for kernels used after
installation.
Temporary solution: Explict yaboot command line including this parameter.
(I just noticed that Colin Watson took care of this one)
*)No internationalized keyboards available. Only USB and mac. In Base
config (later on) I was able to choose the german keyboard I have.
No big deal if you know the american layout, and the "proper"
installer needs few special characters (if at all).
*)Automatic LVM install fails but manual (on the shell) is possible;
Once the PV and VGs are created, the install (e.g. mounting) works
fine. Problem: lvm tools are not installed into the system, so after
reboot all LVM partitions are invisible.
*)/etc/fstab is not configured (independently of LVM usage); making it
difficult to boot if several partitions are used (I reproduced this
with only one partition; here, however, fstab is strictly speaking
not necessary).
Besides these (which took me quite a while because this is my first
PowerPC machine) the install went flawlessley and was very pleasant.
I can provide more details on each point if necessary for debugging.
Greetings
Helge
