Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Hi there!

The title is a bit stronger: the overall installation works flawlessly,
but two major problems (Debian CD image and X11 configuration) are
show-stoppers.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Comments/Problems:

1) boot

   I usually download a multi-arch CD image and this time I did the same
   (daily built 20081001-10:45, d-i 20081001-09:05).  However, while the
   same multi-arch CD boots fine on i386 and amd64, on powerpc machines
   gives the following errors:

   - [G3] /pci@f200000/mac-io@17/ata-4@18000/disk@1:2,/install/powerpc/vmlinux:
          Unknown or corrupt filesystem

   - [G4] /pci@f200000/mac-io@17/ata-3@20000/disk@0:2,/install/powerpc/vmlinux:
          Unknown or corrupt filesystem

   - [G5] /ht/pci@3/ata-6/disk@0:2,/install/powerpc/vmlinux:
          Unknown or corrupt filesystem

   The same problem happens with two other daily built multi-arch
   netinst CDs (20080923-22:19 and 20080921-10:03), but not with
   powerpc-only netinst CD (daily built 20081001-10:35).

2) clock

   The following happened also with etch and randomly, thus I don't think
   it's Debian-related, but it could be a symptom of hardware problems
   (like empty battery).

   Sometime, after the first reboot and at GNOME login, the system
   complained that the date was wrong (still set to something like
   1903).  However, if I performed another installation after this
   "buggy" one, there was no date error.

3) X.Org

   This is the main problem: after the first reboot, X11 starts, but the
   screen remains black.  After investigation, to have a "working"
   screen I needed a single xorg.conf option for the "Monitor" section,
   taken from etch's xorg.conf:

     HorizSync       60-60

   However, the screen resolution is set to 1280x968, which is not
   wrong, but the font size is too small.  I've never used this iMac
   with Apple software, but according to the Apple site [1] (and
   Wikipedia as well [2]) the correct resolution should be 1024x768,
   which is obtained with another single xorg.conf option in the
   "Monitor" section, again taken from etch's xorg.conf:

     VertRefresh     75-117

   I can provide X.Org log files from etch and lenny as well as perform
   other tests or even installations: this is still a playing machine,
   thus no need to be careful with it :-)
