It should allow GPT partition tables, too, in any case.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.What exactly was the error message?where do i report lvm "bus error" currently ? Just checked with my installed sparc64 debian, adding lvm2 package, even simple commands give "bus error":File a bug against the lvm2 package, please.Adrian, yeah, lets make this as buildd, about 200 vcpus , 200Gb ram and 300Gb hdd avail for this task.I'll send you an email with my public SSH key. Adrian mm GPT tables,.. bane of my life at one point 8/ you need to find out of your sparc supports gpt tables in the first place for a system disk, since that is a function of the OBP firmware. (once the kernel is running you can have any partitioning schema you like,.. just NOT on the system boot drive. In L4S (anaconda) I was a bit lazy, during the CD install while its still running from RAM, I made a call out to prtconf and looked for gpt. however that required a few changes to prtconf for it to chuck out a string version gpt_avail=iutil.execWithCapture("prtconf", ["-v", "-p"]) |
