This page tracks DebianInstaller development for the m68k port (see also ?DebianM68kPorting).
Test Images
Instructions for using the installer are on the [http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ home page].
Sid images are on a mirror near you, for instance: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-m68k/
Please test the [http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/ daily builds].
[http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/cds-m68k/daily/ daily cds] are in development.
- ["DebianInstaller/Today"] lists known issues with the dailies.
- Check [#issues here] for m68k-specific issues.
Please fill out an [http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug installation report] and/or share your thoughts with us here, at debian-boot@lists.debian.org , or at debian-68k@lists.debian.org .

CD Issues
[http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/cds-m68k/daily/ daily cds] need testing.
- Installing from cdrom was largely broken due to missing isofs and some drivers, should be fixed now that 2.6.24 is the default. Needs Testing.
- etch-m68k cdroms do not have 2.6.24 kernel modules, so if you plan to use 2.6.24 you'll need to manually install that linux image.
Install Issues
installing etch-m68k: use suite=etch-m68k as a kernel command arg. The base install will hang if you haven't manually installed the etch-support udeb (I need to workup directions, probably anna-install etch-support before base installation. You can also kill -USR1 debconf-apt-progress to get out. I'm not sure what the latter does to the install though.
atari disk label support in parted: patch submitted (bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/239816 239816]), work around in the daily builds of the debian-installer as follows:
Choose Execute a shell from the main menu (or switch to a vt)
wget the [http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/atari-parted/ parted udebs]
udpkg -i those udebs
exit from shell and return to the installer
Old Issues (Need to be verified)
- bogl errors on amiga need fixing in the kernel.
amiga [http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/12/msg00370.html keymaps] have a kernel patch integrated into 2.6.15-6. Initial kernel testing shows promise -- untested in d-i. If keymap selection fails, you can choose to keep the kernel keymaps.
Development
incorrect serial console detection (needs better fix) #[http://bugs.debian.org/269077 269077] (verify for etch, may be fixed)
- hd-media vs hfs (directories w/ spaces)
- lowmem
- why copy debs to /var when using hd-media/cdrom?
- skip validating debs?
UI
- partman needs some progress bars.
- graphical installer
Installing Extra Stuff
- atari-bootstrap goes into /target because it is listed as required.
- atari-fdisk goes into /target because it is important.
Bootloaders
- support emile in the installer.
vmelilo bts #[http://bugs.debian.org/250578 250578]
- package amigalilo (cts seems to have a package on gluck)
- package lxboot for q40
Other Packages
- 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).
