I have MVME2604 with 761 IO board.
When I try to begin installation from the
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 "Potato" - Official powerpc Binary-1 CD
kernel is loading but after a while I got this mesage:scsi : 1 host. scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=1 serial_number_at_timeout=1 and the system stops. I've already tried to play with "ncr53c8xx=..." options. Exactly the same thing happens when I try to boot from image located in: dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/3.0.7-2001-07-11/prep/bootfull.bin However I've got kernel from: ftp://linux-rep.fnal.gov/pub/vmestuff/zImage-bpa (this is 2.2.9 kernel) and this one works, but of course fails to mount root filestystem. Unfortunatley I don't have any floppy drive. I would be gratefull if someone could send me an boot image for prep architecture with that kernel. Patryk Gutowski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
