* why do we have console-keymaps-acorn installed? |
This page tracks DebianInstaller development for the m68k port.
Image Testing
Check ?DebianInstallerToday for known issues with the dailies.
- debian-installer 20051026 needs testing.
check for latest d-i images on a mirror near you http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-m68k/
test [http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/ daily builds]
- please note here exactly what you tested
- Hank notes a successful install based on Nov. 14 m68k-binary1.iso. However userdevfs didn't map the second drive correctly.
nativehd/initrd22.gz 20051208
- I added 7 additional pts/(1-7) entries to the initrd.
- After investigating the main-menu internal error it occurred to me that we might be out of space. Duh.
- Rebuilt the initrd with 20000 (probably only need 15000 or so) and I finally got back to partman.
- Added the additional pts entries to userdevfs.
- Got to prebaseconfig before I had to shut it down. Yeah.
nativehd/initrd22.gz 20051212
- Built using a test version of userdevfs with pts/(1-7) and inird=20000.
- Successful install excepting kbd-chooser error and probably a related failure in prebaseconfig.d/70kbd-chooser.
- Off to upload userdevfs 0.13.
nativehd/initrd.gz 20051228
- amiga by ij
amiboot-5.6 -r d-i_initrd -k vmlinux-2.6.14-amiga-4 root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=8192 video=clgen yields a bogl error
adding debian-installer/framebuffer=false nolangchooser gets to the kbd-chooser, which fails.
- Yeah, it boots with 2.6!
Issues
- daily initrd22, starting with 20051208, need ramdisk_size=20000. We can make that smaller later once it's been tested better. A new userdevfs should give us more pty's too (pending upload).
- kbd-chooser failing (at least on mac and amiga), fortunately ignoring it works fine (at least for mac). (still true on 1208/1228)
- kbd-chooser should select at keyboard for 2.6 kernels?
- why do we have console-keymaps-acorn installed?
- bogl errors on amiga need fixing
amiga [http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/12/msg00370.html keymaps]
- check why it's not detecting the eth0 link and thus prompting for card choice.
- partman needs some progress bars.
- installing atari* packages on mac.
- check that userdevfs maps a second drive properly, per Hank.
D-I Development
incorrect serial console detection (needs better fix) #[http://bugs.debian.org/269077 269077] (verify for etch, may be fixed)
- linux-2.6 support
- q40, hp, sun3 support
- hd-media vs hfs (directories w/ spaces)
- lowmem
- graphical installer
- why copy debs to /var when using hd-media/cdrom?
- skip validating debs?
Bootloaders
vmelilo bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/250578 250578]
- package lxboot for q40
- package amigalilo (cts seems to have a package on gluck)
package emile: http://emile.sourceforge.net/
- emile does netboot! -- build a target?
Other Packages
atari partition in parted (bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/239816 239816]). Preliminary support at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/parted/upstream/people/xilun/trunk+atari/ due to Guillaume Knispel. Please test!
atari-fdisk-udeb (bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/250582 250582 ]) XB-Subarchitecture
mac-fdisk-udeb (bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/250581 250581]) XB-Subarchitecture
- amiga-fdisk? (XB-Subarchitecture)
- vme: rawrite2.exe on cd? (ftp.root/debian/tools/rawrite2.zip)
- vme: license for bvmbug-G.bin and bvmbug.txt?
Documentation
http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k/ needs work
- installation manual needs work
Notes
- atari/aranym can be used to test the whole installer
- amiga/UAE can test amiboot (to a point)
