CD Issues

  • [http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/cds/daily/ daily cds] need testing.

  • Installing from the daily cdroms is close to working. Needs Testing.
  • Figure out where the amiga icons went to.
  • debian-ports for sid.
  • set cdrom kernel args for etch-m68k and sid, respectively.

?Anchor(issues)

Install Issues

  • installing etch-m68k: use suite=etch-m68k and modules=etch-support as kernel command args.

  • etch-m68k: security updates will fail because etch-m68k doesn't have any.
  • 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 double faults when an nfblock enabled kernel tries to run udev. This blows up d-i with 2.6.25/26 stock debian kernels. Using an [http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/old/20080509-00\:15/kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-atari old kernel] works but of course causes other problems.

  • aranym has video problems when using a Ramdisk and FastRAM > 64MB.

  • aranym seems to have ~ and | swapped in the d-i shell, but not after a regular install.
  • amiga needs an uncompressed kernel?
  • libblkid.so.1 is missing in the daily debian installer it makes mkfs.ext3 fail when formatting the filesystem. A workaround is to manual run "anna-install libblkid1-udeb" to allow the installation to continue. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497619 bug:497619]

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"]
