Hi, now that it boots i am only able to comment on some technical details of the surpassed obstacles.
> HL-DT-STDVDRRW GWA-4161B That's an LG DVD writer. Up to ten years old, given its specs. Should be fully ok for reading CD and DVD. > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5132196 > So now I have a successful Debian HPPA boot! Just to keep any misunderstandings from taking roots: The Debian ISOs are perfectly ok for being directly burned to optical media. (As first track of the first session, to be exacting.) The problem seems to be with user interface of the (Windows ? Mac ?) burn software. It probably packed up the ISO image as data file in a file system (UDF, ISO, ..., whatever). A file in .cdr format is obviously unpacked from that format and burned to medium. On Linux i would burn a Debian ISO by: xorriso -as cdrecord -v blank=as_needed -eject dev=/dev/sr0 debian-7.0-hppa-NETINST-1.iso regardless of the type of optical medium. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
