i just installed debian on a powerpc, and i am trying to get familiar
with it (the 2.1 kernel, glibc 2.1, etc). i started by trying to
compile some of the packages which are already part of the
distribution, but i am puzzled by my lack of success. in particular i

i know how to compile debian packages, i maintain a few myself. it's

yes, i've rebooted the computer quite a few times. but i am using
kernel version 2.1.115 (otherwise you can't login, as you noticed).

did you include the Xpmac server, or is there something else you are

i started with the redhat based ppc distribution, i installed just the
base set + ftp so i could get the tarball over. for this i made a
partition of 100M, but it easily fits in 50, i think. installed the
tarball on the other partition, installed the new kernel (2.1.115 at
that time), installed the

i had this problem when i was using the 2.1.24 kernel (or whatever

went away (well, at least the important ones). if i understand

this is the same chown/lchown problem.

i don't think you can compile the standard kernel on powerpc's. i got
mine form ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/powermac/v2.1.115.

i can't seem to be able to boot back into debian after i delete the

the rest of the disk. i installed the base redhad ppc system on the

how do you make a partition bootable? can i do it now (without
destroying my partitions)?

you need to upgrade your kernel to a version greater than 2.1.102. try
2.1.115 from ftp.linuxppc.org. this is becoming a faq.

after many trials and tribulations i have managed to compile a
pristine kernel source (from ftp.kernel.org) using make-kpkg on a
debian powerpc system. i had to make one small change to
/usr/lib/kernel-package/rules as my system identifies itself as a
"Power Macintosh" not a PowerMac. ri
has anybody managed to compile the above mentioned kernels on a
powerpc. it used to work fine until 2.1.131, but now, when i try it
with 2.1.132/2.2.0-pre1, i get the following (this is for 2.2.0-pre1):
make-kpkg --subarch=pmac --rev=2.2.0-pre1-99 kernel_image
