PLEASE HELP!!! I have an RS-6000 43P Model 240 that I'm trying to install
Debian onto, and I cannot get a single kernel to boot off of this blasted
thing. Every time I try to boot a kernel image it pukes up an error, which
varies depending on what kernel you're using.
First, if anybody knows w
OK I just got done reading through IBM's sketchy information pages, and it
appears as though I need to build a 2.4 kernel in order to be able to boot
off of my RS-6000 43P 240 machine. Can I build a kernel for a PPC
architecture on an i386 machine, or do I have to find (fat chance) a

If I "tweak" the top-level makefile for a 2.3 kernel to force the ARCH
variable to be PPC instead of running uname -m, would that produce a
successful compile for a PowerPC kernel, providing I get the makefiles
correct? It seems too easy, and I'm probably wrong, but this seems to be
the only v
If anybody is running an RS-6000 43P that has a 2.4 kernel built, could you
please sent it to me (off list)? I don't have a PowerPC machine to build a
kernel on, and none of the ones offered with any of the distros are working
with my machine. Thanks.

I have tried setting up cross-compiling, but never found all the necessary
source files to make the compiler.

Try checking the permissions and ownership on it. I've had that problem
before, but it wasn't with lnnd.

Sorry about that.I'm compiling a 2.4test9 kernel. And when I did the
config, I issued the command:
make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu- ARCH=ppc config
which automatically put the CONFIG_PPC entry in the autoconf.h file.

guessing it's trying to

reboot, but I don't get the usual init messages that go along with it (e.g.

it's custom YDL and won't work with debian).

copied over. I believe that the destination disk type is either ext2 or
minix, depending on the date of the distribution, and the mood of the

there when you move the card back to your PPC machine. If this
doesn't work, try looking at the documentation of your motherboard on

Ok Al Gore.
Try manually entering in information in the /etc/passwd file and see if it
saves ok. It appears as though the install program is attempting to read
configuration information from the disk but isn't finding a file, so it

If you mean you want to erase every last cluster on the disk, then you can
use the following command to do that, no matter what type of drive it is:
