Hi,
Hope someone can help: I've been through all the
installation instructions and all the 'readme's I can find and I'm obviously
missing something here.
Amiga A1200 with Blizzard 1240 (full 040 with MMU
and FPU) 128mb memory.
Installing Debian 3.0r2 Woody (3.0.23-2002-05-21)
form install disks (bought from Midnight Software, UK) onto primary IDE slave -
linux root partition is #1, swap partition is #2.
Have also installed it onto A4000 and had the same
issue so this is almost certainly a software issue, or an error ID
10t.
Installs OK - no obvious errors or missing parts
(follows the exact script described in the installation guides). Reboot
amiga (by allowing the installer to reboot the machine). Then open a
text editor and write the boot file.
amiboot-5.6 -k linux.bin root=/dev/hdb1
ro
save (I called it 'startdeb') and set executable
flag. Move amiboot-5.6 into command path (I put it into my c:
directory).
When I run the file 'startdeb' I get the following
output:
****

Some documentation states that the amiga "needs
ixemul.library which is included on the installation disk" except it isn't on
the installation disk, and I can't find anywhere to download it from - the only
reference I can find to it is this statement saying it is included on the
installation disk: INFURIATING!.
Please help - do I have the kernel name
wrong? I've also tried amigalinux; linuxamiga; linux; vmlinux; and several
others I can't remember at the moment. I'm at an impasse - I even tried
leaving it several months and coming back to it - same story, no change, no new
insights. Everything I've been able to find suggests I'm doing everything
right.
