Hello,
I can't seem to get my System to boot into Apus, I run the command line the
screen goes black and then just sits there doing nothing, I have waited
upto 10mins to see if there was a delay before booting but still nothing,
anyideas?
My bootstrap line is:-
BootStrap --apus -d -k "APUS Boot:apus/vmlinux" -r "APUS
Boot:Apus/images-1.44/root.bin" nobats root=/dev/ram video=clgen:low -d
debug=mem
vmlinux is the latest linux.bin file from debian 3.0r0 the same for root.bin
when I run dmesg afterwards the reply is
Searching for SAVEKMSG magic...
Not found
I'm using the internal scsi on the A4000T.
Regards,
Paul

I have the same problem as you, and I'm using the same files (Debian
woody). I get an error message that linux.bin is too big to uncompress,
but I haven't had any time to test things out further. I know though that
linux.bin is compressed with gzip. Maybe you can test uncompressing it and
report if it works better :)

Maybe you can test uncompressing it and > report if it works better :) Yes you're true, there is a simple patch to bootstrap that i have done but not still submitted. This because bootstrap can only handle compressed kernels with no more than 2 Megs of dimension. I will submit this patch to CVS during this week! I think that for Paul there is also another thing to try: the idea is this: you may try is to substitute video=clgen:low with video=amifb:vga This because clgen driver has some programming problems and if the kernel is compiled with also the PCI option (i think it is so because PCI is used for CVisionPPC) a preprocessor #if cuts out all the Zorro driver's part. Time ago i promised to correct it. Because i have a Picasso 4 too. And i will, if i shall find the time... Regards, Giorgio Terzi |

Yes, you committed it on May 21st 2001, and the 010623 boothack release has the fix. It's just that the boothack that comes with the boot-floppies is outdated. --=20 Earthling Michel D=E4nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast |

Maybe you can test uncompressing it and > report if it works better :) linux.bin is the root-disk, not the kernel....so you need to make sure you have 1) latest bootstrap from APUS site 2) latest kernel from APUS site then bootstrap --apus -k latestkernel -r linux.bin root=/dev/ram other_options_here alan |
