Hi I've prepared a partman-prep package which should add support for PPC PReP boot partitions to the installer. The package has been forked from partman-palo. Now, short before testing, I'm wondering about the mechanism which takes care about loading this module. I've grep'ed through the com

Hi! Since I had access for some power4 and power5 System the last time and noticed that the debian installer didn't work on this hardware (a 64bit kernel seems to be needed), I did some integration on this and added a "pseries" target to the debian installer including the 64 bit kernel and a

ppc64 port

2004-04-27 Thread Cajus Pollmeier
Hi! Just a simple query... I _may_ have a chance to get a ppc64 machine. Is anyone interested in such a port? I know that it basically works with the 32 bit binaries, but the installation is non trivial right now and having no 64 bit code isn't optimal, too. Thanks, Cajus
