[parisc-linux] Problem in palinux-0.9.1 image with directory "debian" !!

[Christoph Plattner]

I have a problem with the iso image. I have loop back mounted
it on my linux box, and I wanted to tar (copy) it to a location
(NFSROOT) to try a media less installation via rboot/bootp.

But the copy was not possible, as the directory debian
contains recursively the contents of the whole CD !!

Is this correct !

With friendly regards

No, it isn't correct.  debian should be a symbolic link to '.'.
I guess at some problem with the mkisofs options.  I've notified
the guys that made it, and hopefully they will remaster without
that problem soon.  I also had problems trying a CD based install
for the same reason.  In your case, try just taring up the dist
directory, or telling tar to ignore debian.

There may be workarounds for CD based installs, but I havn't
fully investigated yet.

Hi all,                                                               
                                                                      
	I just uploaded the correct 0.9.1 with the debian link working.      
Thanks for testing. As you see, this is important, since it is our    
first ISO ;-)

The is something wrong with the new iso. I get:

Trying scsi.2.0
Boot path initialized.
Attempting to load IPL.

IPL error: bad LIF magic.

I verified the md5sum value from that of the website
(473c029b513472cccab1a4d6e2156619) and burnt the CD a 2x speed. The
image I got last night booted normally. This a 715/75 machine.

Yep, the new image has a problem.  Expect another update in
a few days.

Alternatively, set up rbootd and netboot the lifimage from the
CD.  Once in the installer, you can install from CD as normal.
I assume you are on serial console?  My 715/75 didn't work with
graphical console last time I tried.

Yet another alternative, if the cd you got "last night" was the
earler 0.9.1 ISO, and you still have it, then boot from that
and switch to the new one before installing anything.

These 0.9.1 ISOs all have the same basic filesystem content, they just
have problems with the palo or mkisofs stage of the mastering.
