  • Updated installation images for Debian Ports 2019-04-10

    From John Paul Adrian Glaubitz@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 11 17:10:02 2019
    Hello!

    I just uploaded updated installation images for the following
    Debian Ports architectures:

    * alpha
    * hppa
    * ia64
    * m68k
    * powerpc
    * ppc64
    * sh4
    * sparc64

    I uploaded both CD images [1] as well as netboot images [2].

    Please test those images and report back over the mailing list for
    the corresponding architecture.

    Known issues:

    * alpha
    - No known issues
    * hppa
    - No known issues
    * ia64
    - The kernel might be unstable during install
    (try passing "hardened_usercopy=off" at the boot prompt,
    e.g. "install hardened_usercopy=off"
    * m68k
    - The drivers for IDE hardware may have to be loaded manually, e.g.:
    + modprobe pata_gayle
    + modprobe pata_falcon
    - There is no automatic installation of the bootloader yet,
    users have to boot the kernel and initrd manually after
    installation.
    * powerpc/ppc64
    - The bootloader installation still defaults to Yaboot and
    is being switched to GRUB for IBM POWER and PowerMacs,
    please report any issues you find.
    * sh4
    - There is no CD image, installation has to be performed
    using the debian-installer images.
    - Currently supported targets are Renesas SH-7785LCR and
    SH-7751R, the latter should be identical to qemu-sh4.
    - debian-installer for sh4 is completely untested, please
    test with QEMU and report back.
    * sparc64
    - Installation over a serial console is currently broken
    on sparc64 due to a bug in the rootskel package
    (can also be considered a kernel bug), see: #926539.
    Use any image before 2019-04-06 as workaround.

    Important:

    When reporting issues or bugs, please include the syslog
    from your installation in the bug report/mail. The log
    file can be access when switching to another console using
    <Alt>+<Cursor> for normal installations or <Ctrl>+<a>+<n>
    when installing over a serial console.

    Thanks,
    Adrian
