Hi all, today I found enought time to try install Debian on SGI Indy (R4600, with FPU). Everything of these base2_2.0.tgz, base2_2.1.tgz and base2_2.2.tgz from ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/Linux/debian-local/mips gives the following result # ls -l ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 bin ?-------w- 0 man root 1024 Jan 19 2001 boot ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 cdrom ?-------wx 0 root root 18432 Jan 24 2001 dev ?----wxr-- 0 root root 2048 Jan 24 2001 etc ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 floppy ?-------w- 0 50 root 1024 Jan 19 2001 home ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 initrd ?------r-- 0 root root 2048 Jan 24 2001 lib ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 19 2001 mnt ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 19 2001 proc ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 root ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Feb 26 2001 sbin ?-------w- 0 root root 1024 Feb 26 2001 tmp ?-----xr-x 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 usr ?-----xr-x 0 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 var
and filesystem is corrupted even if I untar this base to the disk while using debian-mips-base-test_0.3.tar and then boot it. ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian-mips/ debian-mips-base-test_0.3.tar this base gives the following # ls -l drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root disk 1024 Jan 19 2001 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 18432 Jan 24 2001 dev drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 2048 Jun 13 01:08 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 floppy drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 1024 Jan 19 2001 home drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 initrd drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Jan 24 2001 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 19 2001 mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 19 2001 proc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 sbin drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Jun 13 01:20 tmp drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 usr drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 1024 Jan 24 2001 var and works pretty well. I've tried all following kernels from ftp.rfc822.org kernel-image-2.4.0-ip22-r4k.tgz kernel-image-2.4.0-test3-pre7-ip22-r4k.tgz kernel-image-2.4.0-test6-ip22-r4k.tgz kernel-image-2.4.0-test9-ip22-r4k.tgz where only 2.4.0-test3-pre7 boots well for me. unfortunately I havent enough space for crosscompiling because I'm using my second machine for sh3 development. Indy has 4.3GB disk and 160MB RAM and is connected to 1Gb net. Once it will running I can start compiling packages and setup accounts for debian developers. thanks for your ideas -- _ _ _ | |____ __| |_| ___ Ladislav Michl | | .'| _ | |(___' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |_|__,_|__._|_|____) no homepage :-)
