Hallo, problem #2 I'm trying to install Linux on a 43P 100. At the moment it is running LinuxPPC R4 with kernel 2.1.125 .
Now I'm trying to install something newer, I looked at LinuxPPC R5/1999, YDL CS1.1 and Debian, but I can't get a working kernel. All 2.2.x I have found do not handle SCSI adapter well. Digging ftp://devel.linuxppc.org/users/bbresen and then inside BootPrompt-HOWTO I've found that one can set up a two or even more boot disk sequence. I was trying to skip problem #1 booting from an old working kernel and feeding it with a new installer image: Disk 1 = zImage.2.1.125 Disk 2/3 bbresen's PReP-ramdisk.image.gz I boot from Disk1, at the Linux prompt I put root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 everything goes on well, but when it prompts VFS ... insert disk and press ENTER it doesn't get the enter key, nor it gets any other key, just scroll up/down and Ctrl-Alt-Del. What am I doing wrong ?
