@ -3,13 +3,12 @@ Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux ${DEBIAN_VERSION}!
This is a Debian installation ${MEDIA_TYPE},
built on ${BUILD_DATE}.
In addition to the default 'install' option,
there is 'install-safe' which you should try if
the system fails to boot at all (the typical
symptom is a white screen which doesn't go away).
The default option is 'install'. For maximum
control, you can use the 'expert' option.
For maximum control, you can use the 'expert'
and 'expert-safe' options.
If the system fails to boot at all (the typical
symptom is a white screen which doesn't go away),
use 'install video=ofonly' or 'expert video=ofonly'.
The plain options are for the powerpc family of
processors (from 601 to G4). The -power3 options
@ -18,5 +17,5 @@ are for IBM Power4 and Apple G5 boxes.
************************************
If in doubt, just choose 'install', and if that
doesn't work, try 'install-safe'.
doesn't work, try 'install video=ofonly'.

installs it.
- Bump initrd-size to 10MB for powerpc 2.4. Current d-i initrds exceed
that.
- Remove -safe options from powerpc yaboot menu, as they caused
combinatorial explosion. Instead, document video=ofonly in boot.msg.
* Sven Luther
- fixed powerpc list so it includes the 2.6 kernels too as well as the
power3 and power4 2.4 kernels.
