Thanks. > I used an Apple PowerMac deskside tower G4 machine. Can you supply the relevant part of the syslog from a failed attempt on the PS3? More details might help us to figure out what's failing there. I'm guessing the PS3 has a network interface that needs some firmware that isn't being supplied. The installer has provision for such cases (you can put the firmware on a USB stick and load it from there), but I've never used them. Maybe somebody else on the list knows more details? This is not related to bug#562575, so I've taken it off the CC list. Rick It used to have the drivers for the ps3 network card and it would install but now it just fails at configuring network. I dont know how to provide extra info from the logs or how to access them. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
