Compiling is not a very good way of benchmarking a processor - the

I haven't had problems on x86, but I have had very few kernels work on
the ppc box.

So, I was talking with Cort regarding my ongoing RS6K troubles, and he
mentioned that trying an older compiler might help.
I did indeed have a better time of getting a v2.2.14-preX going with
the 2.91 on my yellow dog partition.
If we don't have a compiler that can generate good code for kernels,

Looking for a kernel image to netboot an iMac with...
Any suggestions?
Eventually, I'd like to run the whole thing off of a netboot (ie, NFS
mounted root), so that I can get rid of the OS from Cupertino.

Any idea why I might be getting this error from dpkg when trying to

I straced it and it is indeed fsync failing.
This is on an unstable system that was brute force installed

So, today my book arrived on the PPC instruction set, from Motorola
(MPCFPE32B/AD Rev. 1), and it makes no mention of the 'li' and 'mr'
instructions that I see in the kernel sources. What is the story with
this - just a failure to note something in the docs, or...?
Thanks,

Hmmm, so, I am not having much luck installing Debian. I'd just like
to get a big tarball of the base system, and config it myself. Would
anybody have a spare partition they could do that on? I just need
enough to chroot it or boot it and start going on my own, apt-getting
things, etc..
Thanks,
Ok, I am stumped. I have been trying to build an SMP kernel for my
F50, and have hit a wall.
It is stopping somewhere after prom_init (I added a prom_print that
shows it is exiting this), and before printing anything else. It is
still in OF. From what I can see in the code, after prom_init, it i

So I've been taking some random stabs at the kernel running on this
thing (the RS6000), and I'm wondering what lists I should be on to get
informed about what the status of things is, what is happening, etc..
I noticed, for instance, that 2.3.18 doesn't compile out of the box.
Thanks,

There is something tricky that isn't readily
So, I actually got the machine to boot (thanks to images provided by
the guys at Yellow Dog Linux) and install Y.D. Linux (which is what we
are officially supporting). Is there a good way to install by just
taking a tarball and expanding it anywhere? Also, any hints on
booting from the HD on this
Progress:

Actually tries to load and barfs up an error code about Prep. Since
this is indeed a CHRP machine, that's legitimate. Now, if anyone has
a clue where this image came from, I would be very happy.
Thanks,

Hi, at the office (Linuxcare) we got a new toy:
RS6000, 4 processors, 2 gigs of memory, 6x9 gig scsi disks.
Naturally, I'd like to put Debian on it (in addition to Yellow Dog,
that we are officialy supporting). So... I looked at:
