Hi, I've tried to netboot the vmlinux-prep/chrp.initrd and none works for me. Here is some logs extract 0 > boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229 LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 FILE: /install/tftpboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000 FINAL Packet Count = 11188 Final File Size = 5727838 bytes.

Unexpected Firmware Error: DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00300 at %SRR0: 00c1b030 %SRR1: 00003030 I've tried power4 and powerpc images, 2.4 directory included. I'll try the dayly built on http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built as soon as possible I think it's a chrp box because I see chrp when I issue the following command 0 > pwd / ok 0 > .propertie ibm,fw-xof, unknown word ok 0 > .properties clock-frequency 04f790d5 device_type chrp You said you need more information, what kind of information ? It's a 7043-150, 1 Go RAM, 9.1 Go hard drive, floopy and cdrom drives. Aix is installed but doesn't boot for the moment because of a NIS problem. Thanks Regards Nicolas
