I'm trying to install debian mips on a SGI Indy (R4000/100MHz, 16MB RAM, 8-bit video). I'm booting from the network succesfully and I'm also able to create and activate a 100MB swap + 900MB linux partition and configure the network using DHCP without any problem. Then I download the kernel modules/drivers + Base System from the network. This is where I start to have problems. Either during download or during the installation process the system hangs: The installation process stops, I'm unable to execute commands (like df, free) in the shell (alt+F2). I do not see any error message on the log screens (alt+F3, alt+F4). Currently I can reach a point where I see the following message:
======== Installing Base System - alt-F4 to debug, alt-F1 to return ===== | | | Installing core packages... | | |======================================================================= Any idea/help?
