Not being supported by the debian installer shouldn't be a problem. When I installed debian squeeze on loongson2f, looongson2f wasn't supported either. I just used the installer initrd image from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-mipsel/current/images/malta/netboot/ and built myself a loongson-2f kernel, then booted kernel+initrd and got a working installer. Here is the script and config that I used to compile a kernel and embed the initrd in it: http://mosquito.selfhost.eu/opensvn/free/trunk/loongson Same or similar approach should work for the loongson3a. cheers and good luck, David -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk2.gpg Fingerprint: B63B 6AF2 4EEB F033 46F7 7F1D 935E 6F08 E457 205F
