I use a Power Flyer and use Debian, all I can access is the first HD and CD Writer on the first port. Cant use the second port though, if Elbox would release some helpful info we might have all ports available. Just turn the miggy off for 30 secs or so to make sure that nothing stays in memory from the software, then you can boot with no startup-sequence and run the commands or a script to start linux from a FFS partition. This will then enable you to install and configure what you want. My commands for the 2.4.4 kernel is below, For initial install: cd os2linux:2.4.4/ bootstrap --apus -k vmapus-2.4.4 -r root.bin root=/dev/ram video=pm2fb:mode:1024x768-70 noscsi 60nsram To add s/w etc: cd os2linux:2.4.4/ bootstrap --apus -k vmapus-2.4.4 root=/dev/hda2 video=pm2fb:mode:1024x768-70 noscsi 60nsram Regards -- John I think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability. -- Oscar Wilde mail: ch...@la... or lor...@uk... http://www.lordofchaos.co.uk ICQ 110130385 Nick = Chaos A1200 BlizzardPPC 240mhz 060/50 BlizzardVision OS3.9 |

Is this such a `magic interface' that connects to the A1200 Gayle IDE
connector, and provides access to another 2 IDE devices? Or is it a Zorro board
(i.e. it shows up in /proc/bus/zorro/)?
If it's the former, you can probably find the other IDE chain at an offset very
similar to the offset of the Gayle IDE port. In fact there's room for a second
IDE port in the A1200 memory map.
Is there an easy way to detect a PowerFlyer?

If so, can you provide details please. first the 'bad news', no, PowerFlyer isnt supported by the kernel. but now the 'good news'. Through a fortunate bit of hardware design, if you DONT INITIALISE the powerflyer the first channel (IDE0) appears just like the plain Gayle controller and we've got reports that it works okay by several users. ie boot from cold with no startup and you should be able to run a bootstrap command to boot into Linux. Only be able to access the first two units though. alan |

Hi, Let me start off by first apologising for the question I am about to ask. I'm sure this has been asked many times before. When I last tried LinusAPUS (during the AmigaActive articles), it did'nt look like it was possible to boot from an HD on an A1200 Power Flyer interface. I don't have any other HD's on the internal IDE or on my SCSI. So, has anything now changed to allow me to boot up LinuxAPUS? If so, can you provide details please. Regards, Mark |

Does there a CVS for Amiga OS exist? what BUS is your PCI ethernet on? theres ongoing development/support for the Prometheus as for AmigaOS, sure, I've started using an AmigaOS cvs client for YAM code. the best/easiest is amcvs made by the excellent AmigaOS coding guru Olaf Barthel http://amcvs.light-speed.de/ yes, its not on Aminet :-( alan |

Hello Andreas. Tanks again for your info = It seem that the kernel 2.10.10 does not exist O.K. The next text is an copy-paste of an old mail in this mail-list...

two things to test
1) how good is your monitor? if you read the specs and think it can
handle it, then...
2) edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4) and
adjust your monitor settings to use....eg
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Display 1"
VendorName "CTX"
ModelName "7695"
HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 80.0
EndSection
right near the bottom, you should see some lines that talk about depth and modes
change this to eg
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
alternatively, download the XF86Config from the APUS site (well, there are some choices
I believe!) and then use that. These work on our systems. I wouldnt be able to live
without 16bit at hires... thats when I bother to USE XWindows ;-)
3) use the 'fbset' command to tweak your console. what do you have in your bootstrap line?
I have video=pm2fb:mode:1024x768-60
this gives a nice console...and i beleive that if X is configured to use the FB device it
needs a helping hand.

Hi there, I'm stucked with a non-stable LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 with kernel 2.4.4 and some software and the dilema to add a fresh Debian PPC to another partition. Currently I have: 1 hdc2 Linux / partition with everything 1 Hde3 Linux partition formated and free ready to be filled 2 swaps I want to install Debian PPC ( oficial APUS ?) version potato or Woody in the empty partition, but I'm not sure about which is the best procedure. I downloaded the base2_2.tgz file, and the other needed files, my question is : Can I untar the file to the partition and then from outside Linux boot this system or I have to put the files elsewhere ?

Ok - from what I can tell from the install.txt file, which seems to be very vague. It says to skip the installation of the kernel and modules, fine that makes sense as they are loaded from the Amiga side. However, there does not appear to be an option to skip this...
