first, i had problems with formatting as well, but reused / copied
disk from oracle sparc linux with gpt disk partition table
(description of this problem in my previous email).
after solving problem with formatting, d-i did not installed kernel,
and i need to install it manually "apt-get install
linux-image-sparc64-smp" , changing silo.conf and updating bootloader.
then , with my first try I've installed with use of lvm , but was
unable to properly boot into installed debian , dropping to initramfs
prompt (is it busybox ?), since lvm initialization, from initrd,
./scripts/local-top/lvm2 , command
lvchange_activate() {
lvm lvchange -aay -y --sysinit --ignoreskippedcluster "$@"
}
gave me "bus error", and i need to re-install without lvm,
installation went ok .
where do i report lvm "bus error" currently ? Just checked with my
installed sparc64 debian, adding lvm2 package, even simple commands
give "bus error":
root@deb-t52:/boot# dpkg -l lvm2

Adrian, yeah, lets make this as buildd, about 200 vcpus , 200Gb ram
and 300Gb hdd avail for this task.
