Hi, I have tried the current boot disks of woody/powerpc to install debian on a IBM 43p-150 machine, using
ok> boot floppy:,\linux root=/dev/fd0 init_ramdisk=1 fake_initrd at the openfirmware prompt. Without success: It hangs after the openfirmware says 'booting'. When replacing the kernel with the latest suse chrp kernel from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt it started, at least, introducing itself in a new display with the message ----------- Welcome to Linux 2.4.9-benh0-benh Xfb: someaddress etc. ----------- But then it also stopped. I know the gxt2000p is a problem, but Suse recently mentioned that kernels above 2.4.6 with the openfirmware driver should support it, see http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/olh_ppc_hardware_ibm.html Any ideas?
