I'm attempting to install debian on a Cobalt Qube2 following Martin Michlmayr's
how-to (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/cobalt/install.html) but am having no
success. I'm hoping somebody on this list has experience with Qube2/Raq2 and
can tell me the magic incantation that puts everything right.
The Qube's original software runs fine, and I was able to install NetBSD using
their netboot procedure, so I believe my hardware is in order.
I have three machines attached via a switch: my personal machine
(192.168.11.149), the Qube (192.168.11.30) and the debian lenny server with
DHCP and NFS (192.168.11.4). The procedure appears to be going fine -- I get
the menus on the LCD as expected -- but shortly after seeing "Starting the
installer (SSH)", I get "UNIT BOOT FAILED". I've tried many variations, but
always the same result.
I setup a serial connection between my Qube and my BeagleBoard, and was able to
capture the transcript below. The "no response" at the end is puzzling since
the nfs command previously listed was successful, and the requested files are
present:
vm:~# ls -l /nfsroot
total 11980
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2010-08-05 04:57 boot -> .
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 790 2010-06-18 15:03 default.colo

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-08-05 04:57 vmlinux_raq-2800.gz ->
vmlinux.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-08-05 04:57 vmlinux_RAQ.gz -> vmlinux.gz
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Ted Krovetz
