Hello PowerPC users,
I added a 2.4.27 kernel to the Sarge on an old
PowerWave 604|120 and made it the default.
Now the system fails to boot or doesn't progress
far. The screen remains black. I need to change
the default back to 2.2.20 in quik.conf. Is there
a rescue diskette with vi, simil
Hello PowerPC users,
Does quik normallly give a menu at startup? On an
old PowerWave 604|120 here there was only a black
screen until the default Linux 2.2.20 started.
Subsequently I added a 2.4.27 kernel and made it
the default. Now the system fails to boot or doesn't
progress far. The s
Finally I've managed to upgrade the PowerWave
604|120, Woody -> Sarge -> Etch ... more or less.
The current problem is with libc6. It appears
to be stuck at Sarge and is not fully configured.
The report in running dselect is this.
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
Can anyone suggest
At Tue, 25 Apr 2006 01:44:16 -0800 I described a problem with video
on the old PowerWave 604|120.
All that was needed to solve this was a better
monitor. For a reason I do not understand, the
base installation needs a better monitor than
the diskette based installer needs.
Thanks,...
Finally the Woody base is installed
on the old PowerWave 604. Perversely
enough, the base installation desynced
the video.
The video card is an ATI Mach 64, PN 109-33200-10
& an SVGA monitor is connected.
A picture of the screen is at this address.

The Woody, diskette based, PPC installer works
well up to "Install the Base System" via the
network. I used the default source.

Yes, that works, up to where it searches for a *.iso.
The mini.iso is on the boot drive and also on the

Thanks. BootX is working.
The Installation Manual instructs "Download

OK. The PowerWave 604|132 boots from the "new"
diskette.
The PowerWave 604|120 spits out the same diskette.
I tried two diskettes. The 120 rejects both.
Can this be another problem with the installer?
