Hrm... This machine isn't yet pefectly supported, it would help if I could have physical access to one of those for a couple of days (btw. I'm in France ;) You may have better luck with my kernel than with debian stock though. The Adaptec card should work, make sure the aic7xxx driver is built in. >whille trying to boot on the debian-30r0-powerpc-binary-1, bad luck, >neither the ata100 drive, neither the SCSI disk are seen. The ata100 isn't yet supported. It might detect the disk with my latest tree, but I don't suggest relying on it too much, I haven't yet figured out the proper timings for this controller. >as far as I've understood my google search, I have to switch the >drive from the ata100 to the ata66 bus in order to be able to use it >under linux.

Or you can just put the kernel, yaboot & yaboot.conf on an HFS or HFSplus partition of your HD and boot that from OF (boot hd:partition,\yaboot). The yaboot.conf would be setup to load the kernel from the HD and the install ramdisk from the CD. >I've done this long time ago while installing my pismo, but I don't >remember the "vaudou" OF incantation. > > thank's > > Eric > >-- >Bref, me dire que j'ai peut-�tre contribu�, ne serait-ce que d'un >epsilon, � la propagation de serveurs "compatibles avec FrontPage" me >flanque des remont�es gastriques peu reluisantes. >-+- FM in Guide du Macounet Pervers : Bien pr�parer sa digestion -+- > > >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with a subject of "unsubscribe".
