This page tracks DebianInstaller development for the [:M68k:m68k] port (see also ["M68k/Porting"]).

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.
  • Need a way to address kernel modules since the installer is starting with 2.6.24, but the 2.6.24 modules aren't available on the cdrom.
    • That should be trivial. Just tell debian-cd to take all udebs from unstable, which is what should be done anyway when using daily built D-I images. -- fjp
  • Figure out where the amiga icons went to.

?Anchor(issues)

Install Issues

  • etch-m68k ssl: openssl has been in NEW for 3 weeks (atm), grab libssl0.9.8_0.9.8c-4etch3+m68k1_m68k.deb and friends from http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/ssl

  • installing etch-m68k: use suite=etch-m68k and modules=etch-support as kernel command args. Hopefully the modules command will fix the following. 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:

  • aranym has video problems with initrd and FastRAM > 64MB.

  • amiga needs an uncompressed kernel?

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

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

Notes

  • atari/[:Aranym:aranym] can be used to test the whole installer.

  • amiga/UAE can test amiboot (to a point).
  • ["M68k/Porting"]
