I could successfully do a gnome desktop install using the 20110329 daily: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/20110329-5/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso I encountered the same problems as Antonio. Once the installer was finished, but before it rebooted the system I used this from a tty console: echo 'linux=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/ps3da1' > /target/etc/kboot.conf -Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
