What kernel are you using ?
I did a woody installation from CD a while ago, and the kernel on the CD
paniced when I tried to boot from HD.
Using one of the latest prebuilt kernels on linux-apus.sf.net when I booted
from HD worked fine, and the installation finished without any problems...

Woody installation

[<mr-...@li...>]

Hi,
I used to have a working LinuxPPC 1999 Q3, then I tried to upgrade it with a
2000 Q4 trying to recreate the original cd structure to make it work with
the installer. The result was a half-booting system which crashed while
starting X Font Server.
Anyway, I got 6 brand new cds labelled "Debian 3.0 ppc bin" (20-01-2002) and
tried to install it over my Linux partitions.
I managed to get to the installer screen, initialize partitions and install
the base system.
The readme included in the cd states the "Install kernel and modules" option
is not working neither needed, since the kernel is loaded via bootstrap.
However, when I try to boot from hd to finish the installation, the root
partition gets mounted and then the system goes in a kernel panic.
I suppose modules have to be installed somehow...
I also read about apus boot-floppies, could they help? where can I dl them?

Thanks

Yep, see kernel-image-<version>-apus or simply kernel-image-apus for the

I'am now relying on Alan who once pointed out that issuing

    apt-get dist-upgrade

will do the trick.

Maybe http://www.spack.org/index.cgi/AptHelp will help you a bit.

Hmm, what do you mean with a new Apus kernel? As the kernel has to be on the
AmigaOS side anyway to boot into your Debian system, I always download it from
the Apus site on sourceforge directly. But there should be kernel package
.deb's, right (Michel, Alan)?

Hi Andi,

Thanks a lot for your help !!!! I've finally managed to do an
installation using kernel 2.4.9, still having some issues with the
post installation, I could also made it work under CV643D! :)
still some issues though, installing drivers and configuring them, it
doesn't recognize the boot floppy "rescue.bin" and it exits. After
that i was able to configure the system, but it has some post inst
nasty error "after a while doing configuration" apt-get crashes with 
error "kernel panic", so I couldn't finished my installation, I'm
issueing dpkg-reconfigure base-config. BTW which packages do u
recommend for a stable version, that can be easily upg ?

Apparently, bogl depends on the framebuffer device providing a certain
value (the line length), which virgefb doesn't. bogl should fall back to
the horizontal resolution, like X does. Someone should submit a bug
report to that effect.

Addendum: kernel 2.4.9 does also support the X-Surf, but isn't dhcp enabled.
I.e. install using the network works alright, but you have to configure the
interface by yourself. If you have a static ip-address, no problem here.

Kernel 2.2.10 which is included in the potato as well as in the woody
boot-floppies doesn't support the X-Surf. For this to work, you have to use
the latest 2.4.17 kernel, which, on the other hand may not work with the
current woody boot-floppies. But you can easily workaround by initializing your
root partition with kernel 2.4.9 or by hand with mke2fs
/dev/yourharddiskpartition on virtual console 2 (but thats of course not the
behaviour it should have, but the bug was backtraced and is intended to be fixed in
the next build).

If you want more info on this one you can contact me.

Maybe you are suffering from too short filenames under affs, or
case-insensitivity (unlikely). But the line you provided above doesn't seem to
have a too long file name.

Is the latest bootstrap buggy ?

[FFF <ax...@mo...>]

Hi,

I think I found a bug in latest bootstrap, after initialazing
everything and arriving to the fb section, executes BusyBOX v. 060-3,
then it aborts with error "Bogl can't find screen type" (it must be a
bug), because I've tried with every single screen mode my
Cybervison643D has and end up with the same result, my question is
this program calls screenmodes on various cards, (amifb works), but
virge doesn't, so is the CV643D missing ?
I've tried many times to install Woody, but always got the same error,
while initialising the installation proccess.
Now I'm trying with potato, but the kernel doesn't recognize my network card, an X-Surf,
and I dl all the main directory from ftp.debian.org using wget -r to an Amiga partition,
but when it tries to find the .deb packages, fails and exits with error ie."

I don't remember exactly what dselect wants, but for APT you'd have to
provide the base path (/mnt/hde6/ftp.debian.org/debian), the
distribution (potato) and the section (main).

As I mentioned in another post, I imagine the low latency patch and/or
the O(1) scheduler patch, etc. might help for the internal serial
interface. I have a PPC for the former at
http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/patches/11_sched-O1-K3-ppc.diff, the
latter is arch independent and only missing a hook in
arch/ppc/config.in.

I have yesterday compiled a Kernel version 2.4.17 from Apus CVS with patch of
package kernel-patch-debianlogo (hmm, nice :) so there can be an Amiga Apus Logo
in my bootup framebuffer? ;^)) and it booted perfectly.
I have compiled only support for pm2fb, amifb, BlizzPPC SCSI. Amiga IDE is
compiled as module coz I have Linux installed on SCSI disks.
While booting, there is message above too, but kernel (as I say) boot normal. I
have a lack of time to test the installed kernel (many of things I make as
modules, the kernel is realy slim) especialy with networking. I have many
problems with networking under 2.4.x kernels (ppp over modem on serial line).
So, I can send here any of info about what I do to make it working or make some
tests for developers (see my hw config).

Hardware Configurtion:
Amiga1200
BlizzardPPC 603e+ (040@30MHz/603@252MHz + 128MB FAST RAM)
BlizzardVision (Permedia2)
Micronic Zorro II bus board
Elbox PowerFlyer (FastATA)
Planet 10Mb (NE2000 Compatible PCMCIA network card)
2x2GB SCSI discs on BlizzPPC
1x10GB IDE disc on FastATA (1. channel primary)
1xCD-ROM (1. channel secondary)

Software Configuration:
In BlizzPPC is latest flash-update with G-Rex support
Debian Woody with upcoming updates (formely v3.0)

Known problem I think, unfortunately no solution yet AFAIK. Do you use
any special IDE interfaces?

Just to let you know, i unsubscribed from the APUS
list for a while. I had to move, the roof of my house
came off and i barely saved the miggy from the rain.
I'll check back in later, when i can send mail to the
list again.

Pieter.
