Hello, I and also the other guys in our forum already tried to install 7.8, which ends in the same problem like 8.0. Which version was running on your Peg-2?

Re: Debian 8.0 PPC not working on Pegasos II G4
Hello Luigi, thank you for your feedback. Regarding your hints, I already tried ext 2, ext 3 and ext 4. :-) I was running DEBIAN 6 before, this mean the enviroment is setup in the right way. I can use AmigaOS 4.1, MOS and Debian 6 over a bootmenue. So it is really no problem of the installation itself, something was changed and now the PEG is no more working. It seems that some parts of the base system could not be installed, but I cannot say which one… Is there no official who could be informed about this problem? Because the installation routines for the PEG are also in Debian 8 and as I wrote before everything is working fine up to 95%. If it was the best machine, why did you sold it? :-) Would be usefully now. :-) Best regards, Robert > Am 02.05.2015 um 02:39 schrieb Luigi Burdo : > > Last that i had been installed was debian wheezy 7.6 > install it without upgrading during installing ( dont install upgrade from > network during the installation procedures) .

Re: Debian 8.0 PPC not working on Pegasos II G4
Hello Charlie, please, please try to install 8.0 and you will see „my problem“. On a1k.org some other users tried it, with the same result. Which GUI do you select on installation? I am always using GNOME. Regarding the problems you mentioned, I never had them. Maybe it is also a combination of firmware and revision on the PEG? My old installation using 6.8 was running perfect. I read now that 7.6 should still run, 7.8 & 8.0 fails in the installation at 95%. If you close installation and try to boot, you can see the grafic trash I already posted. But within the installation the grafic is working fine. cU, aPEX / www.a1k.org Pegasos II (last rev), 1GB Kingston Ram, Radeon 9000 128MB, SoundBlaster 5.1, Exsys EX-1064 USB, Digitus SATA 150, Fujitsu 2,5“ 500GB SATA HD. > Am 02.05.2015 um 14:42 schrieb Karoly Balogh (Charlie/SGR) > : > > Hi there, > > When I was installing Wheezy on my Pegasos II around 2013, I ran into the > following issues: > > - the RDB partitioning didn't work (the disk I was trying to install on > had RDB already), and made the installer to crash and burn in various > ways.

Debian 8.2 on Pegasos II G4 - Installation working, but no boot image in folder boot
Hello, I just gave Debian 8.2 a try, installation was working fine without a problem! But after the installation the „vmlinuz“ files are in /boot/ missing. There are just the „vmlinux“ files to start for example a Macbook G4. Why can this not be fixed since so many stable releases? :-( cU, aPEX / www.a1k.org Pegasos II (last rev), 1GB Kingston Ram, Radeon 9000 128MB, SoundBlaster 5.1, Exsys EX-1064 USB, Digitus SATA 150, Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 500GB 2,5 HD.

Re: 32bit PowerPC
Running a Pegasos 2 with 1.2Ghz G4. :) But 8.3 is still not working directly after installation, because no vmlinux file is generated in boot. cU, aPEX www.a1k.org > Am 09.02.2016 um 22:56 schrieb k...@kirkg.us: > > Hello all, > Does anyone still do anything with 32bit PowerPC?
