Problems with the starting video mode

[Ricardo F. <ax...@mo...>]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with video display, no matter what video mode I selec=
t I just get scramble display.

I issued the command line:
bootstrap --apus -k apus/linux  -r apus/images-1.44/root.bin root=3D/dev/=
ram rw video=3Dvirge:mode:1024x768-65 console=3Dtty0 =


or

bootstrap --apus -k apus/linux  -r apus/images-1.44/root.bin root=3D/dev/=
ram rw video=3Dvirge:mode:800x600-56 console=3Dtty0

and can't get Debian to display properly.
In fact, there seem to be a problem with frequencies, does anyone now =

working virge modes ? I have a CyberV643D 4 Mb,blizz PPC 175 040 and 64 M=
b
RAM.

The above is the same command I issue to boot my LinuxPPC2000 Q4 distro, =
of course with the proper changes, but video mode is the same why it does=
n't work with Debian ?

BTW I don't know if this can be an issue, but bootstrap and ppcboot_wup a=
nd ppcboot_pup are the same ones I used with LinuxPPC2000Q4.

BTW I'm trying to install Debian on a fresh 1.5 Gb partition, I already h=
ave working but unstable LinuxPPCQ4 on another partition, but now became =
so unstable that I can't even upgrade packages, if I try to reinstall RPM=
 says it can't find the database, (rebuild ? how ?), and other packages r=
efuse completely to install, the thing is I have a working Apache 1.3.20 =
server, with PHP 4.06 , MySQL-MAX, phpMyAdmin, and PHPnuke, and I need to=
 migrate them somewhere, but the installation of 2000PPCQ4, doesn't recog=
nize all the needed packages, so reinstalling a fresh LinuxPPCq4 is out o=
f question, that's why I'm trying Debian.

TIA

Regards,
