You may want to look at: Welcome to Linux on Power wiki! http://oss.gonicus.de/openpower/index.php/Main_Page ( not specifically debian, but has references to debian) Also: penguinppc.org http://www.linuxppc64.org/ (again, not specifically debian, but lots of useful info) To start: give the cdrom to the partition you are installing it on. Boot from the CD. It worked for me on a p690. It also worked on a 520. Probably best to ask more specific questions on this list.

mysql 64 bit -- where, how, who?
Hello, Is there some way to take advantage of the huge amounts of memory on POWER5 systems with mysql? Should I build a 64-bit version? Is there some roadmap of how to do that on an etch system that I can read somewhere?

debian on power5 (570)
Helo, I have almost succeeded getting debian on an IBM power5 (570). I struggled with yaboot, got that working. Now I have not yet found a "standard" kernel to boot without immediately crashing. Has anyone gotten this to work? Jean -- Jean Robertson, McGill University (514) 398-8117 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

netboot and install of IBM power5 box
Hello, I do not seem to be looking in the right place for instructions to netboot an power5 machine. Current etch installer files under .../debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/20051026/images/powerpc64/netboot64 include a few files: initrd.gz mini.iso vmlinux I do not know what to do with these files. I have set up the bootp server and the tftpserver. I have tried to boot the vmlinux image, that does not work. I have looked inside the mini.iso, pulled out the kernel, initrd, yaboot files and have succeeded in getting the tftp server to "boot" the yaboot binary, which promptly looks for yaboot.conf under /etc (not where it will find it). Can someone give me a clue? (point me in a direction whatever) Thanks, Jean -- Jean Robertson, McGill University (514) 398-8117 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

lenny installer fails "ramdisk: incomplete write"
Hello, The lenny installer fails on an IBM p55A 9133-55A This is a power5 machine. This is a partition inside the box. I am trying to install from a CD. It boots the CD, give me a choice of installs, I type install64 and then after booting, complains that it cannot mount the root filesystem with the following error: RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 10485760 This does not happen with etch. The etch CD boots up just fine and starts into the installation dialogue. I would like to avoid installing etch and then doing a dist-upgrade to lenny. Is there a way around this?
