Hi, I've got problems starting the unstable kernels on my 7043-140.
1. Trying to netboot http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd results in: BOOTP S = 1 R = 1 FILE: /rs6000/boot DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00000 at %SRR0: 0021c8c8 %SRR1: 0000b030 I doesn't look like the workstation actually downloads more than a small part of the image. On the web I found something saying that arp requests can interrupt the tftp transfer, so I added a fixed arp entry: arp -s 192.168.1.77 08:00:5a:93:c3:da No change... I am able to download the image using a tftp client on my PC - so it's not a problem with the tftpd setup. 2. Trying the floppy image http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/floppy/boot.img just gives me an 'ok' response but nothing actually happens. Any hints? What am I doing wrong? I have been able to boot the workstation with the kernel and debian root disk available at: http://krichard.web.elte.hu/43p-140/ That (woody) root disk's fdisk complained about the partition table to be incompatible though. Do current kernels/fdisks know how to handle AIX partition tables? Thanks Johannes
