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
