-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I recently installed Debian Sarge on my CHRP RS6000 43p 150 exactly like Philippe Guyot did. While installing and after having successfully installed Debian Sarge with 2.6.8-Powerpc Kernel I had certain problems which I hope to get solved with your potential help: 1. My Install-CD only installs in "expert" mode, when I boot it normally, it just hangs at 10 per cent of install progress ( while installing dpkg ). Unfortunately I don't get any error message but "No volumes found". This message also appears during a successful "expert" mode installation. 2. The CD may not be booted from ok prompt via "boot cdrom". If you do so, it simply crashed. You may rather put the CD into your cd-Drive and wait, and wait... :) 3. After having installed yaboot from virtual console ( make it raw with mkofboot and fstype=raw, yabootconfig and ybin ) and after reboot yaboot loads fine. Hitting the enter key boots the kernel. After "loading ramdisk" right at the beginning the system crashes: """ loading ramdisk Unexpected Firmware Error: Default Catch, code fff00300 at %SRR0: 00c18d30 %SRR1: 00003030 """ And the screen is strangely blinking so it's difficult to read the screen ( so please apologize my typos, if there are any ). That happens although I used the same kernel as on the CD to be installed on hard disk. It appears that installing the system takes pretty long ( 1 hour or so ) so please tell my, whether to use another kernel or what to do. Also I'd like to know, why mounting "target" from console wont run ( when I boot the sarge CD ). I loaded all available modules, but only get an error messge. Please tell me what I'm doing totally wrong or different from the normal case, so that my install doesn't run properly. 4. What kind of disklabel should I create on my disk? I have an old 9 GB disk in my RS6000 which has a MSDOS Disklabel - is that correct? Maybe I need to change certain things on my partition layout. It looks like that: MSDOS-Disklabel on 9 GB SCSI Disk 1. 30 MB fstype=raw prep-boot=on Partition 2. 8 GB data partition (/) ext3 3. 700 MB Swap Partition Please ask me questions, if anything is uncertain Many thanks in advance Philipp Vollmer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFB2rMF9KYBCQQof6YRAkCsAJ0dzJWNLG7rxn5/dInsmb38R9vyvACdHFlC VFn7HHOJWyaNJEfhd0cEB7M= =WwrM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
