Hello there! We are trying to install debian on an ibm p655(power4) over yaboot but encountered the following problem:
first we set up a dhcpserver and a tftp server, the filename points to the yaboot binary in the tftp root. over the openfirmware prompt we see its getting the proper ip via dhcp, the gateway and stuff and the yaboot file, then the error occurs and it says something about unknown or corrupt filesystem. we thought it was because of a malformed device string to the tftp server but after trying almost all combinations quit trying. Has anyone ever installed debian on a p655 and knows how to setup the correct files? i used the files from: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc64/netboot/ I think those are the right ones, but i think something within the configuration files is broken. greetings Fabian Richter Hochschulrechenzentrum TU Darmstadt Petersenstr. 30 64287 Darmstadt GPG Fingerprint: CB09 9E1B F97F DBFE 702E 7B46 71AA D7E7 B005 95DC
