Hello I have a RS/6000 7020 F50 system with 1 GB RAM and 10 x 9.1 GB HD with 3 604e CPUs.
Does someone know a working system with sarge or woody with my hardware type? I would like to use the following ISO: debian-31r0a-powerpc-netinst.iso It doesn't boot altough i set the bootlist to cd only. It tries booting but makes restarts all the time. I think, that i can choose at installation time a working default kernel. Assumed that i can boot a bootmedia (CD, HD, NFS, TFTP and so on). What would you recommend? I think that i must afterwards compile a new kernel to support 3 CPUs. I tried today to boot from the HD (harddisk) according to the "Debian GNU/Linux-Installationmanual at 4.5.2 and 5.1.2.3. That means: Downloading the files vmlinux, initrd.gz, yaboot and yaboot.conf and copied to the root directory (/) (now still AIX works, which i would like to replace with Debian sarge) My root directory is under /dev/hd4 I booted the system new and with pressing the F1 key i got to the System Management Services and opened a bootprompt "0 >". Then i tried the following: boot hd:4,yaboot This boots AIX boot hd:0,yaboot This boots AIX also I have the above mentioned ISO in the CD drive an tried with boot cd:,\install\yaboot This boots AIX also I thing i am overlooking something or some information is missing, but which? At URL http://www.de.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/prep There is the following mentioned: ----------------snip---------------------------------- Floppy Based Install Write the boot1440.bin, root1440.bin, resc1440.bin, drv14-*.bin, and images to floppy disks. dd can be used on a Linux/Unix system or rawrite can be used on a DOS/Windows system. ----------------snip---------------------------------- Where can i download this files and would you recommend this method? What do you think? Which boot method do you recommend? If you need some more informations, i can provide it to you. Thanks and hoping hearing form you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
