Hello, I'm trying to get a Linux distro such as Debian in the following system
System: mpc8572ds HW u-boot programmed on flash memory vanillia linux installed on sata disk Restrictions: i have not apt-get resident on system I have tried the following ways with no succeful results: I tried to run deboostrap with chroot on mpc8572ds I tried to run deboostrap on another machine, downloading the correct packages for ppc enviroment and copiny those packages in a new ext2 partition of my 8572 hw. After that i executed "chroot /mnt/newpartition /bin/bash" and it returned "Illegal instruction". At this point i can't follow the installation and if i force to startup the machine with that rf system, it returns a "kernel panic" with error to handling the signal 4 of init process. I tried to get start the machine with a debain livecd installation. I created an uImage and initrd from cdrom's vmlinux and initrd.gz with the uboot-mkimage tool, then i booted it from u-boot but the kernel didn't start. I tried to start a preinstalled Debian for a simillar architecture, in cocnret from a mpc8561 ppc's Debian. I put its hhdd with the Debian rfs on my machine and start it with my uImage and dtb files. The results was the same "kernel panic" and signal 4 error. I accept all ideas. Thanks you all and sorry for my english
