Then it's the entry-level model of the new product line. That explains a lot. There may be a whole lot of pitfalls lurking in there, apart from PCI vs. PCI-X, that need to be fixed in the upstream kernel. > Second, what exactly do you mean by "kernel did boot" but didn't get > "into the installation system"? In both cases, the kernel booted through and started d-i. But install-power4-2.6 does not detect the keyboard and therefore sits at the country chooser, which happens to be the first time when you're supposed to press enter. While install-power4 gets beyond that, it hangs when trying to load the legacy floppy driver. > you are farther ahead than I am. Definitely. > My yaboot is 1.3.12, btw. The last message I see is "openpic2: > exit", which I believe is in the kernel? It's part of the very early (read: I don't understand what's going on at this point) boot process.
