Hi everybody! I read through the archive of this mailing list and found a couple of mails concerning the installation of Debian on a SS5/170. People seem to have problems, but in principle I read from those mails that they were able to install it and have a running system?!
Well, to make it short: we don't get it to run. We tried to install "Potatoe" on the SS5/170 and and during the installation process the following happend: The installation crashed usually while writing to the disk. Sometimes the kernel did not crash immediately though, but after a second or third writing trial it finally stopped with a segmentation fault. After like seven trials we were able to complete the installation process, but with that then virtual terminals just died instead of terminating correctly. We know that our hard drive works (18Gb IBM), because we can perfectly install debian on that drive if we plug it into a SS4. Does anyone has good ideas? Thank you very much Sincerely, Felix
