Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/power4/netboot/ 7 March 2005 uname -a: Linux (none) 2.6.8-power4 #1 Sat Jan 29 18:11:59 CET 2005 ppc unknown Date: 8 March 2005 14:12 Method: From MacOS X, using yaboot + kernel image and initrd.gz from above location
Machine: PowerMac G5 1.8GHz Monoprocessor (PowerMac9,1) Processor: PPC970FX 18000MHz rev. 3.0 (pvr 003c 0300) Memory: 768MB (but /proc/cpuinfo only sees 512MB (?)) Root Device: tmpfs Root Size/partition table: fdisk not available Output of lspci and lspci -n: see below (lspci not available) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: The network hardware detection does not detect any ethernet card (though I've got one). I'm then asked by d-i to select a card type from a menu. I select sungem (Benjamin Herrenschmidt has confirmed me that all recent Apple machines have a sungem), but d-i brings me back to the card selection menu. lspci is not available, but here is an extract from /proc/pci (I don't copy everything, as I have no way to cut and paste from the console to my mailer ;o/ ): ------ ~ # cat /proc/pci <snip/> Bus 3, device 15, function 0: Ethernet controller: PCI device 106b:0051 (Apple Computer Inc.) (rev 0). IRQ 40 Master Capable. Latency=16. Min Gnt=64.Max Lat=64. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x80400000 [0x805fffff] <snip/> ------- after I've selected sungem, lsmod tells me the following: ------- ~ # lsmod Module Size Used by sungem 37124 0 crc32 5120 1 sungem sungem_phy 10496 1 sungem ds 24068 0 yenta_socket 23936 0 pcmcia_core 77076 2 ds,yenta_socket usbserial 33968 0 usbhid 54272 0 ehci_hcd 37380 0 ohci_hcd 26500 0 usbcore 139380 6 usbserial,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd unix 32408 8 ------- If I try ifconfig eth0 though I get ------- /usr/bin # ifconfig eth0 ifconfig: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found ------- Removing and inserting sungen, crc32 and sungen_phy works seamlessly but does not bring any change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
