looks good... or not ;-) Seriously, I can't tell from the output if you got the correct boot-device (as I don't have a 5400 myself), or load-base. But one thing looks does look bad : the boot-file parameter should be set to the label you assigned to your kernel in /etc/quik.conf, e.g."Linux" The first thing to do is to get correct OF input/ouput -- seeing the actual OF errors may help debugging the boot process, even if the messages sometimes look a bit cryptic ;-) For correct load- and real-base settings, I'm afraid you'll need to experiment a bit -- look at penguinppc.org and the NetBSD/macppc FAQ for more info on possible values. > Now, Linux resides on /dev/hda6, and quik installed something into the > boot block of /dev/hda6, but the boot-device is set to > ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 above. Should that be ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6? This is quite normal : AFAIK, quik writes some of it's bootloading code into the MBR, which is 0:0. But you might want to check that the ata/ata-disk device really exists under OF (using devalias, dev and ls OF commands) -- this may vary sometimes (see included nvsetenv output on the 6400) Here's what I got from the 6400, edited to only show relevant vars : auto-boot? true (It is a good idea to set this to false until you get the values right) [...] use-nvramrc? false real-base 0x8700000 real-size 0x100000 virt-base 0xffffffff virt-size 0x100000 load-base 0x4000 [...] boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 boot-file New [...] input-device ttya output-device ttya [...] nvramrc boot-command boot HTH, Simon -- Simon Vallet Due to massive spam, the address shown in the From: header only accepts mail from Debian hosts.
