Hi, the daily netboot D-I from stappers page seems work better than previous images. This time it didn't freeze during ide-cd module but the FB issue still persists.
Below the installation report:


Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/ images/daily/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img (2005-10-24)
Method: netboot

Machine: Sunblade 150

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O ]
Configure network HW:   [O ]
Config network:         [O ]
Detect CD:              [O ]
Load installer modules: [O ]
Detect hard drives:     [ O]

Mount partitions:       [ O]
Install base system:    [ ]
Install boot loader:    [ ]
Reboot:                 [ ]

Just a question: how can I edit my own boot.img? I'm new to D-I and I would like to customize a 2.6.12 kernel in order to fix the FB and put it inside the image I used this time. Thanks in advance,
Ric

I tested Etch 2005-10-22 daily netboot (sunblade 150)
I got the same problems with FB (first char missed), D-I chars not always readable and this time freezed during ide-cd module loading do I wasn't able to install Etch once again. Should it be a 2.6.12 issue? With 2.6.8 worked...

Comments/Problems:

The D-I chars are often not readable (strange/not printable chars)
It gives an error message during installing base-system (The debootstraap program exited with an error return value 1 - Check / var/log/syslog or see virtual console for the details). I read syslog and dmesg and "exiting on error base-installer/debootstraap- failed"is what I found. Selecting "Continue" gives "Installation step failed". The 2.6.12 seems not gives you a good FB configuration (first char cut off). With 2.6.8 netboot everything was OK. I'm looking for a good 2.6.12 .config for frame buffer.
Many "cramfs: wrong magic" errors on dmesg.
