Thanks to Rasmus Abrahamsen who gave me remote access to his SheevaPlug, I have identified and fixed the issue today (bug #787563). I believe an update to Debian 8 with a new installer is planned for this weekend. In the meantime, you can also use this workaround. Run the installer until you hit the partitioner. Go back and open a shell in the installer menu. Type: echo 'echo armel/kirkwood' > /bin/archdetect Go back to the insaller (Ctrl-D or exit) and continue with the installation. > It is still marked as broken on cyrius.com. > > > >> But now the installer fails in the "Install the base system" step, >> > >> saying: "No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources"... >> > >> when the last time I tested with changed machid and original uImage it >> > >> worked with the same sources. > >What does /var/log/syslog say when this > >> happens? > I managed to complete the installation by continuing without a kernel and > when the > 'make the system bootable' step failed, go to a shell and exec > 'apt-install linux-image-kirkwood', and then rerun the 'make the system > bootable' step. > It seems to complete well the installation. > Although I changed in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf: MODULES=most -> > MODULES=dep, > because by default the installer chooses 'targeted' but when I installed the > kernel > it seems it chosed 'generic' initramfs.
