Hi all,

I'm Emanuele.

Please help me with Linux Apus Kernel 2.4.17. I have tried it but don't work.

Thanx for all.

Emanuele.

Hi all,

I'm Emanuele.

I have tried LinuxPPC 2000 Q3.

Work fine but with GUI Gnome or XFree86, my Linux System work only with 6=
40*480 256 colors. All
other screen format don't work.

I have CyberVisionPPC, LinuxPPC 2000 Q3 and Nec 1530V LCD Multisync monit=
or.

Help me.

Emanuele.=

However I'm getting this problem when I boot using the potato root.bin
file!

Specifically which kernel am I supposed to use to boot this....as it would
seem to me to be a kernel problem

So far I've tried from the APUS site.

2.2.10
2.4.4
2.4.9

Like I said, I'm installing via HTTP and it is successfully pulling down
the code. (drivers.tgz, rescue.bin) but failing when attempting to mount
the rescue.bin image.

Thanks

Francois

Had the same thing a couple of months ago. It seems to be something in
the woody bootfloppies. I installed potato and upgraded to woody
afterwards.

Nope, i mentioned it on a debian-boot list, there already was an
outstanding bugreport for it, but as i said, that was months ago.
Nothing more we can do i guess..

2.10.10?

Help, I must have missed decades of Linux development, I still have 2.4.x. And
2.10.x is even a user kernel!

I have one small question - anyone have a working 2.4.17 kernel on Apus?
I get cvs version or compiled .deb package, but there is no chance to run
it. After runing bootstrap, all goes good but there is no switch to Linux
console and system is freezed.

What happens if you try a dist-upgrade instead? Or you could install
woody right away.

Have you browsed the list of mirrors on the Debian site?

PS: These questions are about Debian, not Linux/APUS. It's better for
you and everyone else if you ask them on the relevant mailing lists.

You don't need rescue.bin at all AFAICS in install.txt, just root.bin .

If you haven't tried the current woody boot-floppies yet, please do, and
report success or failure to the relevant Debian mailinglist(s).

Guys,

Once again I'm attemtping to install APUS onto my Amiga PPC system and am
running into problems. Hardware is as follows

Amiga 4000
Elbox 7 slot zorro bus board (with DMA mod to slot 7)
4091 controller
Cybervision 64/3D
AriadneII
CyberStormPPC 604/233
Quantum Viking II 9 gig drive attached to the 4091 via HD cables and
addapters.
No CD-ROM
96megs ram

Software (From APUS site)

2.4.9 Kernel
LinuxPPC 2000 Ramdisk Image
Boothack 629

Ok - Drive is partitioned into 4 seperate partitions under HDtoolbox
swap, /, and /usr, final partition is a 600meg FFS partition.

Attempting to install Linux PPC CD from from the Compendium CD (LinuxPPC
1999) CD. I have managed to install with this combination before but can
be damned if I can get it to install now.

Steps for install as follows

1) Partition disks and ensure they have correct ID's (swap, ext2 etc)
2) Copy contents of Linux PPC CD to ffs partition (/dev/sda4)
3) Change resolution to 800x600-70 as this is all that will work with BS
4) Install LinuxPPC (selcting /dev/sda4 as the source of Software)
5) Bombs out with error as follows

 	"Error unpacking archive"

Boothack command is as follows

Bootstrap --apus -k vmlinux -r ramdisk.image.gz -root=/dev/ram
-video=cyber3d:800x600-70 nobats

Ok - anyone have any bright ideas. Other questions I have

. Can I do an FTP install of the latest LinuxPPC (I just get errors
regarding the lack of /base/hdlist) Obviously I can't get the folks at
LinuxPPC to add this to all their mirrors. But this seems to be the only
way.

. I gave up attempting to install (my prefered) Debian PPC install due to
the rescue.bin disk image. How do you get around this. yes, I've read the
documentation and damned If i can get it to work. I just get error
messages when trying to mount the image.

. Is there any plans to be able to install either YellowDog or Mandrake.

. Ok - if I do manage to get this LinuxPPC installed, it is really out of
date. Is there a way to do a bulk RPM update to bring me into the 21st
Century :)

Any and all help appreciated

Francois

After I managed to lose everything I've had to reinstall from scratch so =
I've managed
to do a dist-upgrade from the main distribution as well as issuing

apt-get install task-x-window-system-core task-x-window-system task-gnome=

This all worked fine. Now to get XFree 4.x I changed to testing and issue=

apt-get install xserver-xfree86

For some reason it wants to remove my gnome desktop and I can't seem to b=

Also could someone tell me where I can find a faster mirror for downloadi=

ftp.de.debian.org is painfully slow, and that's the fastest one I could f=

ftp.xx.debian.org mirrors.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are there any APUS users out here running Linux 2.4.x who own a =
Prometheus + Voodoo 3 that are willing to try out a test kernel?  The =
Prometheus driver is at the stage where it recognizes and allocates all =
resources for each PCI slot.  I've got the Voodoo 3 driver running and X =
runs, but still have issues with KDE and GNOME.  Users that are running =
a 2.2.x based system may see kernel panics during the bootup.

Sincerely,

Adam Kowalczyk

I think that the question is very interesting and not out of topic.What
hardware
are supported (or will be supported) is a very good question. I want to
install
a PCI bridge on my A4000, but I want to choose a supported hardware (or the
most
supported one). So the status of driver developpment is a very good
question.

Hi

I am asking this question because there are a lot of status requests by many
Amigans interested in using Linux on their machines.

It seems as there are a lot of users outthere who are owning a pci bridging
card. I must confess that I don't know that much about Amiga pci bridging
technology, neither if the cards named above are at sale at all (e.g the
predator).

There has been some discussion of mediator or grex topics on this list a few
months ago, but since then, nobody knows of the actual status of any of those
boards. So, it would be nice if people who are actually working on a
driver/kernel patch to support an Amiga pci bridge could speak up and tell a
bit about the status and the project itself. It would also be nice if people
actually using one of those boards could tell how it feels.

I would appreciate it a lot, so then I could tell the people outthere how it
is about their board, because I could never answer such questions till now, I
could only point them to these mailinglists archives, and after they looked at the
various postings here, they came back to tell me that they wouldn't know
anything more than before.

PS: I am sending this message to both lists to reach the most of the people
outthere, but please only respond to the list you are subscribed to or to the
devellist, it's always a bit annoying if every post gets doubled on the
lists..

PPS: Don't flame me about the status question, I am not asking for XFree86 4.2.0
;)

Which DHCP client? Some require specific kernel configuration options,
but they usually say which ones are missing.

Also, in my experience, not every DHCP client works with every server,
so it might be worth playing with multiple combinations.

Hi,

I've pretty much manually upgraded all the rpm packages so that I'm now
running YDL 2.1 on my Amiga.  I've also sucessfully been able to get the
source from CVS and compile it and run it on my Amiga (LinuxPPC 2.4.17).
The problem I'm having is that I haven't been able to use the DHCPCD
protocol to get access to the net.  Basically, I've set up a static address
and connected to the net via internet sharing on another machine.  Has any
other user had this problem?

I'd much prefer fixing any problems in 2.4.x to using 2.2.10 forever.
