Odd because I'm pretty sure we've been using 64 bit kernels on IP22 for quite a while. In any case, when I use arcboot to load the debian-installer ramdisk from disk it works: arcsboot: ARCS Linux ext2fs loader 0.3.8.9 Loading Linux from scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0) Allocated 0x38 bytes for segments Loading 64-bit executable Loading program segment 1 at 0x88004000, offset=0x0 4000, size = 0x0 45c086 45c000 (cache: 95.4%)Zeroing memory at 0x88460086, size = 0x3f40a Loading initrd /boot/initrd.gz from scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0) Loading initrd at 0x8887c000, 4032665 bytes... 3e4000 (cache: 95.4%)Starting ELF64 kernel Linux version 2.6.22-3-r4k-ip22 (Debian 2.6.22-6) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.3 20071019 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-17)) #1 Thu Nov 15 05:09:57 UTC 2007 Unfortunately, we really need a working tip22 for d-i. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
