I was trying (again) to get Debian installed on my PPC. It's still not behaving itself. After trying (unsucessfully, I might add) to get libreadline installed without breaking everything else in existence, I finally just told dselect to "hold" libreadlineg, and everything else that depended on it. So, it gets past that, and then I get the wonderful kernel panic. Now, I know that a Kernel panic is not a good thing. Anyone know what this gibberish means? hardware? software incompatibilities with my poor mac? FWIW -- PowerMacintosh 5400/180 48 Megs of RAM lots of extra HDs. It ran LinucPPC for months without any problem, and when I shut it down to do this conversion, it had an uptime of over 120 days. Now, I can't even get it to finish installing a basic Debian system. One thing I did do, which might have something to do with it, was grab a new vmlinux file for BootX. It was provided on the LinuxPPC pages. Can I check it somehow? Is there an md5 number I can compare it with to make sure it's not corrupt? Gah...so many questions. Well, any help, insight, or money to just buy a new machine would be greatly appreciated. -Jeremiah Merkl
