Ok, cool. I will upload a new kernel with power3 and power4 32bit support soon. We will need to upgrade archdetect for those though, so kernel-installer installs the right thing. Could you (or someone) send me the /proc/cpuinfo of those boxes ? > I know how to make a bootable CD that boots on PReP and CHRP; it would > be nice if Debian could support that at some point. Yep, that would be quite welcome, could you share this knowledge with me ? Or even contribute to the debian-installer effort and do it yourself ? Friendly, Sven Luther
