How can I install the 486 linux-image on my AMD64 computer? You can't since the 486 kernel is 32-bit and you've installed a 64-bit system. If you want to run an amd64 with a 486 kernel, you'll have to reinstall i386 instead of amd64. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Debian 4.0 on AMD64 and SATA with multi-arch DVD
* Masatran, R. Deepak [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-07-23 I just installed Debian 4.0, on an AMD64 computer that has a SATA hard drive, from the multi-architecture DVD. I used expert at the first prompt, since amd64-expert was giving errors. I chose the 2.6-amd64 kernel during installation. Installation completed successfully, but when it is booted, the console locks up, the kernel panics, and it stops responding. I tried some fiddling with the parameters in the kernel line in GRUB, but it did not help. Kindly suggest a solution. I reinstalled Debian using amd64-expertgui at the first prompt, using the same DVD. The reinstall completed successfully, but it is unable to boot. When I add to the kernel line in GRUB, I get: ADDITION:RESULT 1. nothing: Kernel panic 2. noapic nolapic: Kernel panic 3. acpi=off:SATA internal errors 4. acpi=off noapic nolapic: SATA internal errors Kernel panic looks like this: Code: pairs of hexadecimal digits Console shuts up ... 0Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler I could not find any hardware problem. The hard drive is a Seagate 7200.10 300 giga-byte SATA. The whole computer is new. Searching the web showed that similar problems were tackled by adding/removing kernel modules. Can this be solved by adding/removing kernel modules? ALSO: I want to try the 486 linux-image, but dpkg refuses to install it, saying that that package is only for I386.

I don't know even what initrd is, but I have seen it in the GRUB configuration. Could you give me more detailed instructions, or point me to some HOWTO?

I'm confused. do you have more than one AMD64 computer? or does your kernel panic above only happen sometimes? I bypassed the kernel panic by appending acpi=off to the kernel line in GRUB. I pressed Control-C multiple times at the SATA internal errors, but I don't know if it helped. After a delay, I got a 640x480 X11, though I had asked for 1280x960. At that time, I tried to install the 486 kernel. -- Masatran, R. Deepak http://research.iiit.ac.in/~masatran/ pgpnFY35Yo5t0.pgp Description: PGP signature

You could try one of the daily built iso's from the debian installer page and see if that gets you going. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/ Also, has it installed the I386, or the AMD64, Debian? I suspect (but I don't know) that you have installed the i386 architecture with a 64bit kernel. I've done that before and it worked (mostly). What's that last thing you see on the screen when you get that kernel panic? I haven't seen one of those in a long time but there is probably a hint there as to what the problem is. I run an early amd64 here, I started using the unofficial version of sarge amd64 and it worked well for me although it didn't for others. A newer kernel is your best bet I think. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
