Hello everyone,

I downloaded the debian netinstaller - debian-6.0.7-powerpc-netinst.iso -
and installed on a p505. The installation process goes well, but the boot
fails.

I tried using the LVM with multiple partitions and got this message
If you omit "device:" and "partno" yaboot will use the values of
"device=" and "partition=" in yaboot.conf, right now those are set to:
device=/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1
partition=-1

And after a reinstall using the whole disk, no LVM I got:
If you omit "device:" and "partno" yaboot will use the values of
"device=" and "partition=" in yaboot.conf, right now those are set to:
device=/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1
partition=2

The other key message, same for both is:
Please wait, loading kernel...
Can't open device </vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1:0>
/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1:2,/boot/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid
device

I have located a number of bugs with "Invalid device" in them
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641852
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637519

but these seem to be focused on issues with the installer and power7. My
question is about after the installation.

How to proceed? How to document - better - what is wrong?

Thanks.

Michael
