Nope -- not really used to PPC hardware at all yet :-). I was hoping that if I left stuff out it wouldn't go this badly wrong :-). Hopefully when I have told yaboot to not bother loading an initrd, I will be able to continue with my trial and error experiments... > maybe you should leave out the initrd option altogether? I did -- I disabled initrd support in my kernel but yaboot.conf expects there to be one (at least I am pretty sure that is the problem). The Debian kernel-image package needs an initrd to boot and doesn't seem to be able to find it ATM. I'll try your advice about how to get the d-i CD to recognise my hard disk ASAP (I'm a little busy with University work and a couple of other projects right now, unfortunately). Many thanks anyway for the suggestions. I will undoubtedly let the list know how it goes :-). bye just now, -- Matthew T. Atkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
