Hi everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I gave the install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso a try and found some |
| 7 |
"room for improvement" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
To make sure we're talking about the same iso: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
roger@miliker test_2004-1 $md5sum install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso |
| 12 |
50aad2a21f9b5cd1f8d424c40f700361 install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I wasn't sure if I should have filed a bug or post to this list was better, |
| 16 |
just let me know for the future. |
| 17 |

testing minimal iso for 2004.1 : |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Testing on hardware: |
| 22 |
Thinkpad 760EL 119 mhz 58mb ram 1.4gb harddisk |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
NOTE: F2 states cdcache would be the option to cache the CD whil it really is |
| 25 |
docache! |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
boot: gentoo-nofb dokeymap dopcmcia |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
dokeymaps works! |
| 31 |
pcmcia doesn't (at least on my thinkpad 760 el) |
| 32 |
(note: on my gentoo install I had to specify pci=biosirq to get it to work) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I get: |
| 35 |
starting pcmcia... |
| 36 |
cardmgr [1954]: watching 2 sockets [ok] |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
doesn't load any module. |

testing smp-nofb on thinkpad not possible since frambuffer (!?) mode is out of |
| 80 |
sync for the dstn display, used to work with 2004.0 minimal iso |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
==================================================== |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
testing hardware |
| 85 |
Celeron 466mhz 320mb ram 60gb harddisk |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
boot: gentoo dokeymap docache (see above that instructions on F2 are wrong: no |
| 89 |
cdcache!) |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
copying loop file results in no space left on device. |
| 92 |
- -------- |
| 93 |
boot: gentoo dokeymap |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
bootsplash looks nice, but no progressbar or note that f2 gets verbose mode. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
luckily dokeymap drops to verbose mode automagically. |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
no network devices autodetected :( |
| 100 |
modprobe 8139too works |
| 101 |
modprobe 3c509 doesn't work: |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
..... |
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
weirdly enough progressbar+bootsplash works and shows on reboot. |
| 107 |
hangs on "stopping usb hotplugging....." |
| 108 |
(another reboot command restarts) |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
- --------------- |
| 111 |
boot: smp dokeymap nodhcp |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
bootsplash doesn't work |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
insmod can't read 'mii' No such file or diirectory (cosmetic error) |
| 116 |
|
| 117 |
8139too module loaded fine. |
| 118 |
3c509 module modprobed ok manually, NOT autodetected. |
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
NOTE: smp kernel lacks autogeometry resizing support (workaround for big |
| 121 |
harddisks and old bios + limiting jumpers) |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
reboot works fine (no hanging on stopping usb hotplugging) |
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
- --------------------- |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
Oh and the README/text displayed is wrong. |
| 128 |
it's /mnt/gentoo/docs/handbook-86/html/index.html not just .../handbook/.... |
| 129 |
(not sure now, but it's wrong in the README) |
| 130 |
|
| 131 |
- ------------------- |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
I hope we can get at least some of this fixed. |
| 134 |
