Comment 2 for bug 40092

Ian Jackson and I have prepared three CD images that we'd like you to test, in an attempt to narrow down what's going on with this bug. If you would be so kind, could you please download, burn, and boot each of these in turn and report the results to this bug? Each of them is based on an install CD image, but is stripped down to make it quicker to download and to make it impossible for the image to actually install anything. A successful result will get part-way into the installer and then fail trying to find the Release file; a failing result will probably fail as this bug report describes, or in some other way.

    This is just a stripped-down version of yesterday's daily build.

    As above, but with yaboot rebuilt on our porting system "davis".

    As above, but with yaboot rebuilt on davis using gcc-3.3.

Thanks in advance!
