hi
I've installed Debian GNU/Linux on my Powermac 8200,
and currently woody w/2.4 kernels works quite well.
When I try to upgrade to 2.6 kernel, the system does
not boot and I have to use the boot/root floppy disks
to bootstrap the system.
So after adding sarge or etch to sources.list:
$ apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
or
$ apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-1-powerpc
is ok, installation goes well. quik.conf is updated:
init-message="Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC (woody)"
default=Linux
timeout=100
root=/dev/sda3
partition=3
## Do not point image= to a symlink, quik can't follow symlinks
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.15-1-powerpc
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-powerpc
running
$ quik
$ quikconfig
System is rebooted, in the top left corner is a penguin in
strange colours, no text, and nothing more happens (no reboot).
So my main question is; does 2.6 kernels w/initrd actually work
with quik? I have got both 2.4.18 and 2.4.27 working with quik,
and they do NOT have initrd. Both 2.6.x kernel I've tried have
initrd and they do NOT work. What is the _exact_ syntax for
getting a succesful quik.conf booting 2.6 ? Does running "quik"
or "quikconfig" actually make a difference ?
from my "nvsetenv":
boot-device /bandit/gc/53c94/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
boot-file
boot-command begin ['] boot catch 1000 ms cr again
NOTE: I could not get the microphone working with 2.4 and OSS,
so that is my main motivation for 2.6
Also here are some notes which I've written:
