What "does not work"? I would not see any reason for it not to work, you specify the path for amiboot, the kernel, the rootimage, so linux should boot. If it does not find the CD in linux beacuse you did not cd to the CD in AOS, there is something going on that I do not understand. > CTS> I thought you wanted to upgrade to 3.0?

You are running linux-2.2.20 (uname -r or -a to check)? Then it should be in /lib/modules/2.2.20/modules.dep. If you run a different kernel, I guess you know where to look. Uh, wait a minute, you probably installed the modules which shipped with Debian2.2, that would be 2.2.10 or something. The easiest way to fix that would be to install kernel-image-2.2.20-amiga, but maybe thats difficult to download. I would recommend doing that anyway later, even if this fix works: In your amigainstall.tgz is a drivers.tgz, this contains a modules.tgz which has to be unpacked in / After you did that, run update-modules and your modules.dep should be there. I never tried that, but it should at least get the modules into place. If you get it working, do install kernel-image-2.2.20-amiga anyway, just to get everything right (or roll your own kernel). If you do not get ppp working with that, maybe you can force the kernel to load the modules from 2.2.10? I've done worse things to ge tmy winmodem to work... Now I wonder if you would get the right modules in place if you had used this driver.tgz/driver.bin during installation. Are you sure you do not want to try a Debian3.0 CD? Its easier in the long run, especially for me ;-) Christian -- http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/woody
