Subject: Bug present in Sid D-i, but not in Squeeze d-i [Re: Bug#562575: installation-reports: Buisnesscard PowerPC installer loops with Segmentation faults]
At Norberto's suggestion I did a side-by side comparison of the PowerPC 
daily buisnesscard installer from the Sid d-i and the Squeeze d-i at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/{squeeze,sid}_d-i/ arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/ 

This build finished at Mon Feb 15 04:15:05 UTC 2010. (for Sid d-i)
and
This build finished at Mon Feb 15 04:17:52 UTC 2010. (for Squeeze)

The Sid d-i failed with seg-faults.  The Squeeze d-i did *not*.

In fact, the squeeze d-i installer completed a normal installation and
booted just fine.


So... What do we do now?

Rick on what machine did you test on. I tested on my playstation 3 about 3 or 4 days ago and the installation failed at configuring network with installation step failed i tested the daily netboot image. Thanks. 



I used an Apple PowerMac deskside tower G4 machine.
Can you supply the relevant part of the syslog from a failed attempt on the PS3? More details might help us to figure out what's failing there. I'm guessing the PS3 has a network interface that needs some firmware that isn't being supplied. The installer has provision for such cases (you can put the firmware on a USB stick and load it from there), but I've never used them. Maybe somebody else on the list knows more details? 

This is not related to bug#562575, so I've taken it off the CC list.
