funnily, not all mirrors have the images, I found them at the US mirror: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/chrp/images-1.44/ I try to use the rescue image: 0 > boot floppy:\linux.bin load_ramdisk=1 root=/dev/ram video=keep chrpboot starting: loaded at 0x400000 avail_ram = 4e5000 gunzipping (0x10000 <- 0x415cb8:0x4e3194)...done 1934704 bytes start address = 0x10000 instantiating rtas...rtas at 00565000 done copying OF device tree...done booting... the LCD blanks out and nothing happens any more. Not even the reset button reboots the B50. I access the machine over the serial console as there is no video card installed. I guess the video=keep would tell the kernel not to change to the (nonexistent) video framebuffer. What's wrong with the kernel? Should I compile one with just serial support and the correct command line (ramdisk etc.) Cheers Mark -- Krisztian Mark Szentes produktivIT - Open-Source Solution Provider Siebenbrunnengasse 55/7 A-1050 Wien
