I have been waiting to see some response to this post. Are there
others out there who have had success with Sarge on Old World machines.
My Powermac 9500 is partitioned and ready to go once the CD set
arrives in the mail. I plan to use BootX so I can continue to
dual-boot OS X. Any advice is welcome.

I recently tried to install Sarge on my Performa 6400, and I followed
the instructions given in the latest install guide. But on section
4.5.1, here :
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch04s05.html.en
they ask to use a Kernel and RamDisk from the Woody release. And
indeed, when the install is complete, Debian 3.0 is installed, andthe
Kernel is 2.2.
So I tried to get the files myself from the Sarge distfiles located
here :
debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/
netboot/
I used the vmlinux kernel, and initrd.gz ramdisk. Everything went
right during the install.
But when I rebooted into the newly installed system, a kernel panic
occured saying that it couldn't load the root partition. I double
checked the names of partitions and the partionning stage, and it
should be ok.
Does anyone know if the guide will be updated, and/or how to solve my
boot problem ?
Thanks a lot,
N. Falzon
