Next question is: how to make it load on boot, and not snd-aoa? Can't you just blacklist it? In /etc/modprobe.d/, you could add a new file with only one line saying this: blacklist snd-aoa It should work. I installed Squeeze (2010-11-29) on my PowerMac G3 (BW), and the installer forced loading of snd-powermac by adding it to /etc/modules. Could the same be done for G4 DA?

The root image also works good, until hw-detection. You're right, I got used to the paperclip stuff with the previous versions, so I didn't even bother to specify it, but it is surely not practical at all. Doesn't find my ide disk. Same thing here, except that I'm not actually sure it is an IDE disk, and not an SCSI one (I think I have both in the machine, and none is detected). ~ # ls /lib/modules/2.6.16-1-powerpc-miboot/kernel/drivers base ieee1394net scsi No ide here! I found the ide drivers on the cd-drivers.img. That should be documented somewhere, since a net-install will fail without hd-support. Thanks, I will try this. Also after loading the net-drivers.img the installer failed to detect my ethernet de2104x PCI. I tried to load tulip dc21x4x manually but it failed. It detects mine (this is the second NIC I talked about in my mail). This was still an interesting test, since I have not been able to boot 2.6.16 on this machine, but that must be a problem with the initrd created by initramfs (or possibly something with the way quik boots) -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net

I loaded the net-drivers[1] and it downloaded the required d-i modules through my Internet connection, so the network (including DHCP) is working fine. Also, how hard would it be to provide CDROM images? It's increasingly difficult to find working floppies nowadays. I have tons of broken ones, though.

Re: Problem with Acard 6280M (OldWorld Mac)
Le mercredi 19 avril 2006 à 19:00 +0200, Michael Ladwein a écrit : I managed to install Debian 3.1r1 on /dev/hde2. At the end of the installation process, Debian tells me it cannot install the quik bootloader. So I just finished without quik. I set root=/dev/hde2 devfs=mount,all rw as kernel parameters in BootX (/dev/ram0 works for the installer) but now it seems the System cannot find the boot device. My guess is that the module required for the Acard 6280M is not loaded. The installer gives the hint to use the Kernel and the Ramdisk in /dev/hde2/boot for booting. But how? You most probably also have to load the initrd image related to the kernel. Thanks. -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net

Humm, this is indeed a problem. :-( The non-freeness of miboot is a secondary problem in face of not having a way to install the operating system on the box. :-( i managed to do a powerpc-miboot flavour build, which does fit on a miboot floppy. I would like (urgently) for folk to test it out, it is just a kernel, i need to see if it boots, not much more for now, before i go ahead and upload 2.6.12-7 which would include it, and subsequently build debian-installer images with it. The floppy is at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/miboot.floppy It boots happily on my PowerMacintosh G3. Where am I supposed to find the matching root disk image file, though? That was just a test image, no matching root, but i enabled this on the daily builds now : http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy Or something such. I guess it will only be available tomorrow, then? No problem, just to be sure. Nope, they are available since a couple of weeks :) Sorry, but there is only cdrom, hd-media, and netboot in http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/. Is it netboot?
