Hi, I'm trying to network-install Sarge on a RS/6000 7025-F50. Using the configuration menu of the machine, I configured the network interface. The machine is able to contact my tftpd-Server and to request the initird. While the file is transfered, it displays the amount of Packets transfered. Thing is: It stops at
BOOTP S=1 Packet Counts = 2300 It doesn't try again, but after a couple of minutes it continues by choosing the 2nd boot method configured. I'm completely lost of why this happens, so I'm not sure if this is a limit of the 7025-F50 (I somewhere read about some RS/6000 not being able to netboot bigger than a certain size, but I can't find the link anymore), if this is a bug of the machine (Firmware, probably), or if I just used the wrong installer files. I have to admit I got confused because of several description about this machine on the net. The Debian install manual states that the 7025-F50 is PREP, while penguinppc says that it's CHRP. So I tried both prep and chrp.initrd, and the initrd from people.debian.org/~luther, both the ones in the d-i/-directory, as well as daily builds from a few weeks ago. So I wonder how to get rid of this error, and what kind of machine the 7025-F50 really is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
