Although the initial offset of 14 Bytes (NVRAM_FIRST-BYTE as defined in ) is correct, the atari has only 50 Bytes of NVRAM available. That's what the stuff in the next couple of lines is about. Bytes 0 to 47 are data, bytes 48 and 49 contain the checksum over the others. So, for this to work properly either use #define NVRAM_BYTES(64-NVRAM_FIRST_BYTE) or save cpp some work and use #define NVRAM_BYTES50 > + > /* On Ataris, the checksum is over all bytes except the checksum bytes > * themselves; these are at the very end */ > #define ATARI_CKS_RANGE_START 0 Unfortunately I can't help with the PCI stuff, since I don't have a hades, and I don't know enough about how that machine works.

Install Freeze
Hi all, A simple problem. I'm installing debian 2.2 on my quadra 840av. I'm using a seperate 500MB HD for the linux partitions and have 32MB of physical RAM. I've followed the install guide multiple times, to the t, and have even redownloaded all the files again from a different server with a different program to make sure they are intact. The problem is this, I get to "Unpacking the base system" and it freezes after 5 minutes. I know it freezes because I cannot switch consoles and the cursor has stopped blinking. There are no other errors. I tried rebooting, hoping that the base install had actually worked, but no such luck. It said it couldn't find an init or something like that. So I'm guessing it didn't finish. I actually ran through the entire process again, this time with the third console in front while the base unpacking ran. There were no errors in there either. Any ideas or suggestions? I have had debian (potato) running on this machine before so I'm stumped as to why it won't work. -- Cameron

One possible issue which would affect either one, would be failing to disable extensions when booting MacOS, before starting Penguin. -- "The way the Romans made sure their bridges worked is what we should do with software engineers.
