Hello,
I'm trying to install Debian on a Thinkpad Power Series 820 machine PReP
architecture with a 603e PowerPC processor, with no luck at the moment.
So far, I've tried to boot the 4.0_r5 install CD, but the laptop hangs while
booting. It does show the IBM ThinkPad Power Series logo with audio
Hi Christian, hi All
On a Powerbook5,8:
Please note that with the official Debian repositories in the
sources.list a build-dep for mplayer does not work at all:
--
# apt-get build-dep mplayer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state
FWIW I have used both the 4.0r5 multi-arch, 4.0r5 net install, and 4.0r5 Xfce
to install Debian successfully on a Power Mac G4 tower. It takes a few tricks
from the magic bag, but I can confirm that the Debain disks work 'as
advertised'.
All my best - Chris Reich; Rochester, New York

Hi!Thanks for your info. I know the disk works because I've been able to
boot a ibook G3. Maybe the problem has something to do with booting a prep
machine. This laptop has scsi drives, both cdrom and hard disk. Could this
boot problems have something to do with this having scsi drives?
