powerpc installation problems: "corrupt or unknown filesystem"

[Jamie Strandboge]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Tried installing jaunty-alternate-powerpc.iso from rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ports/daily/20090310.1/jaunty-alternate-powerpc.iso using 'cli-powerpc' and got the following message:
Loading kernel
/pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@20000/disk@0:2,install/powerpc/vmlinux: corrupt or unknown filesystem

So I tried again and it worked, until I got to:
[!!]Load installer components from CD
No kernel modules were found. ...

Continue the installer without loading kernel modules?

I then did 'check-powerpc', which also said:
Please wait, loading kernel...
/pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@20000/disk@0:2,install/powerpc/vmlinux: corrupt or unknown filesystem

I tried it again and this time it loaded and passed. I did not have either the kernel modules or the filesystem problem yesterday when using the previous build (20090228?).

$ md5sum ./jaunty-alternate-powerpc.iso
26aa9c587acb100b1bd91d3fbb84476d ./jaunty-alternate-powerpc.iso

$ dd if=/dev/sr0 | md5sum
26aa9c587acb100b1bd91d3fbb84476d -

693374976 bytes (693 MB) copied, 485.064 s, 1.4 MB/s

This md5sum matches that of http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily/20090310.1/MD5SUMS.

The no kernel modules found message is because there is a newer kernel on the disk than what d-i knows about. Once new daily CD images get built, this will pick up a new d-i image, and hense work properly.

As to the first problem, I am not sure what that could be, reht efilesystem.

I am no longer seeing this problem with 20090318. Marking Fix Released.
