installation of sarge on hercules
Hi all,
it's been a while ago since i posted the error i faced.
I was finally able to install sarge the following way:
- normal installation up to the point where i receive the error
message: "ERROR: Bad archive mirror"
- at that point i can connect via "ssh installer@andromeda"
- instead of dropping into a shell i selected "download installer
components" (or the like, dont't remember the exact words)
- a voila: sarge gets installed.
So debian is now up and runnig on hercules.
I am still thinking about what caused the previous mentioned error.
I've checked that hercules is up to date (version 3.02,
self-compiled)
What is different compared to Frans' description:
I used a kernel and initrd as of 18-November 2004.
If i can find enough time i will check whether the kernel and initrd
from http://raptor.debian.org/d-i/images/daily/tape/
behave different.

I have also noticed a performance boost with hercules 3.02. The
MIPS Counter reaches values above 38, running hercules on an
AMD64/3400.
Finally i like to say thank you to Frans, Bastian and Ivan.
best regards
