Problems booting Debian on new hardware

[Bartosz S. <baz...@po...>]

Hello,

Few days ago I bought "new" PPC board (sig ;)) and I wanted to launch
Debian but it failed :( I get strange kernel opses and panics and I don't
know what to do. The main differences beetween new and the old 
board are: SCSI (old one hadn't),
RAM 192MB vs 80MB (I have 160MB of swap only), 68k - 040 vs 060. I've got
no SCSI devices connected so far. 
I removed "noscsi" from bootstrap line but I'm not sure if I should
configure something at Blizzard SCSI menu (the one which appears after
hiting ESC at startup). The problem is that I even couldn't install Debian
booting the "root.bin" image from potato CD (with more than 64MB of RAM).
At the moment I have 3 different SIMMs: 128MB, 64MB, 16MB. I noticed that
the more ram I have the better are chances to crash. With 64MB I can work
for a while, with 80MB or 192MB it probably won't boot (I also removed
60nsram from bootstrap). I noticed that the more RAM I put on board the
lower address the kernel is placed. Maybe the problems are caused by
bootstrap? BTW: what ammount of RAM is known to work fine on BlizzPPC
running Debian??
Amiga side works well on new board - I can leave GLQuake for 
several hours and it won't crash. I've got
"Free Config" of memory on Blizzard, every feature with "no" - no crashes
so far. My candidates for bad behavior of Debian: SCSI - something
misconfigured, RAM - amount of maybe, RAM speed rather not, 160MB of swap
vs 192MB of RAM? Any comments, ideas?
