Hi, again Just a question, how I boot the rs600, I can acces to de firmware, but with the other boot images I can't boot
Can I copy you kernel into the RS600's disk, and by the firmware boot (i don't know 0>boot sca:0 or something,vmlinux-2.4.22-powerpc-XXX ) o how I can do this? I'm used this images, but i cant boot by floppy the RS600 http://www.linux.com/howtos/IBM7248-HOWTO/index.shtml http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/chrp/images-1.44/root.bin cd debian-installer /install/prerp/root.bin o boot.bin cd debian-installer /install/chrp/root.bin Tanks >>> Sven Luther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21/01/2004 10:32:52 am >>> On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 04:52:30PM +0100, Sven Luther wrote: > On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 11:13:24AM -0500, Benjamin Alvarado wrote: > > Hi, everyone > > > > How I can boot a RS/600 44P Model 170?, because I read many howto's for > > install debian > > in a RS/600, but just I can boot from the floppy or by netboot, > > I don't know if my boot image are wrong o what happen, and I don't know > > if this machine > > is a CHRP or PreP, if is a server or a workstation, this is a friend's > > computer, and a try to > > install debian in this machine, because a need use the LTSP (Linux > > Terminal Server Project), > > an I don't if I can use LTSP in AIX, and for my, a like much more > > debian :) . > > > > Somebody have experience installing debian in a RS/6000 44P Model 170? > > Are you interested in beta testing a debian-installer image i just made ? > > It may have a few problems still (in particular, i doubt the kernel will > install well), but i am actively working on getting this fixed, and it > will be solved in a matter of days. > > Anyway, i would be very interested in you giving it a try, and reporting > back to me things that may not work. > > If you are interested, please try the kernel i make available at : > > http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i. > > There will be a prep, chrp and chrp-rs6k kernel there, and i think you > need the chrp-rs6k version. > > Just move it to the disk or wherever, and boot it with the devfs=mount > kernel option. > > Well, the kernels will be there in 5 minutes or so, once i finish > uploading them.
