Aleck, where did you find the PreP Root disk? I can't seem to find it. I've tried the normal root disk and it fails.

Hello, I have a 7248-100 43p running Debian 2.2r2. The only problem I have found is that the Prep Rescue Boot Disk don't work with this machine. There iss a little problem with the SCSI driver. Use the boot image at http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~ingvarha/43p/images/carolina_bootimage_2.2.16pre 1_with_fb Then use the normal Prep Root Disk, and go on with Dbootstrap. I found a lot of informations that helped me to complete this install at: http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/fag/43p/2000/43p.html It isn't specific to Debian, but there is where I found the boot disk image mentioned above. This is another link more specific to Debian, it make the things harder, but it works: http://adequat.c2a.fr/linux/howtos/rs6000 Right know I am stucked with two problems: I can't use the 'aboot' to boot the kernel and I can't compile a kernel that boot directly. I have to use the carolina image mentioned above, but it is 2.2.16.
