I finally got a bootable Debian 6.0.3 system. It's a good start!
I now find myself stuck in another hole.
Xorg doesn't like either my GXT6500P or my GXT135P graphics boards. It doesn't
seem to have a driver for either.
I am also totally lost with Xorg. I have hacked good ole' X11R6 with .conf
files in the past but this new auto-configuring system is beyond me, I don't
even know where to put a xorg.conf to get it to read it in?
/etc/X11/xorg.conf should work.
Here is my working xorg.conf [1] from an Intellistation 285 and GXT135P
with Debian 6.0.3. I could only get it to work with the fbdev driver -
mga just wouldn't play ball at all.
The GXT6500 will only work with the CruxPPC patch which is on their
install CD (never tried it).
As a matter of interest what did you do to get yaboot up and running? If
I am remembering correctly I had to open a virtual console at the end of
the installation and type dd if=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot of=/dev/sda1 to
copy yaboot to the PReP partition.
Best regards
