This came up on debian-boot, I thought I would spread it to powerpc :) -- David Stanaway
--- Begin Message ---package: install release: 2.2.3 Hi there, I have followed the install procedure for the prep method v1.1 15 oct 1999 when installing debian linux. I have tried the release from 23 januari 2000 on a Motorola system with ppcbug firmware and on a Motorola system with an open firmware. The ppcbug machine hangs after a succesfull install and rebooting. (last messages on the screen are the initialisation of the tty ports) The openfimware machine "hangs" after a succesfull install and rebooting with the following message kernel panic: VFS:unable to mount rootfs on 08:01 rebooting in 180 seconds. It seems that the bootstring is not accepted (boot hdisk0 bootargs=root=/dev/sda5) When I try to install the potato release on the machine with open firmware the ncr controller hangs while waiting for a serial_number_timeout. About this problem there is a question in the faq related to an IBM E20 machine. Can anyone help me out here please ?
