no problem since Brad suggested to #define __KERNEL__ there. Now it compiles cleanly with 2.2.25 include files. > > Last year you told me to check out the latest bootstrap sources from > > CVS.

If I knew where I got it from I would download it again, patched the CVS source and sent you cvs diff. Couldn't it be one of the old m68k FTP bastion like uni-erlargen.de? Roman Hodek's University FTP server? I can't remember. Anyway. The problem with installing Debian on Atari is that kernel + ramdisk don't fit into ST-RAM. This got to be solved somehow. I tried loading ramdisk to FastRAM but it didn't boot. Didier then told me that linux expects to have the ramdisk 'appended' to the kernel code (=located right behind the kernel in memory). So I tried to load both kernel and ramdisk to FastRAM but this fails because there is an OLD bug in kernel somewhere that causes kernel in FastRAM to fail - on Falcon it shows too high bogomips which is most probably a visual proof that more than half of timer interrupts are being lost. I would say that the kernel should be fixed to work in FastRAM properly but since it might be a tough task then finding a workaround for Debian installation could be faster. The root=/dev/hdx worked for Woody (and failed for Sarge, dunno why yet) so if this was documented it could help a bit. Maybe that the bootstrap could help with this? It doesn't even print a warning if the ramdisk is not loaded due to too low memory, IIRC. Petr
