Help Installing Lenny 5.0.0 on Ultra 5
Hi all,
I have been running Debian lenny 5.0.0 on my Ultra 5 for a while, but I
installed with the xfce disk, and it seems I only installed the base
system. There's almost nothing on my Ultra 5.
I figured I'd get the iso images of 5.0.0 full again and do a complete
install. I'm using 5.0.0 to avoid the kernel/xorg problem. The installer
uses 2.6.26-1.
During install I reach the 'configuring apt' stage and scan all 3
install disks. After scanning, it continues on to configure a network
mirror, which I select 'No' (have tried 'Yes' also) to not use a mirror.
'Configuring apt' completes and the install goes on to 'Select and
install software' and hangs there at 1%.
I switch over to tty4 and I see the following:

Need to get 33.2MB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be used.
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
You should only proceed with the installation if you are cartain that
this is what you want to do.
dhcp3-client whiptail libbz2-1.0 libgnutls26 dhcp3-common
linux-image-2.6.26-1-sparc64 apt-utils udev apt locales dpkg wget
libvolume-id0 libnewt0.52 libssl0.9.8 libsasl2-2 libc6 gzip
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
---- end quote ----
back on tty1 (where the installer is showing 1% completion) I cannot
type and enter Yes or No. On tty4, I can type Yes or No, but it doesn't
affect the install process.
There was some hitting of http:// links (even though I said no network
mirror) preceding this output. Can I assume that because 6.0.0 is now
released, the installer is failing to get the GPG key from the debian
servers and thus this error is now produced?
Can I work around this somehow?
I also retrieved 6.0.0 sparc. Is the xorg problem fixed in this release.
I see that the cmd64x module isn't included, so I guess install will
fail anyhow. Or has this been fixed also? Basically, should I drop 5.0.0
and go for 6.0.0 on my Ultra 5? Is there a documented process to install
a newer 5.0.x release with a working Xorg?
Thanks,
Collin
