Hi i bought a new 15" powerbook, and with the new model there is some change in the ATA controller and the installation CD didnt reconize the Hard Drive and the CDROM. I have searched and I found a kernel patch which solves the problem ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/10/28/343 ). I patched and compiled a custom kernel and I tried to build my own netinst CD with my custom kernel ( http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Making+a+Custom+Boot+CD+for+Debian (The manual is for i386 but with a few changes I adapted it to PPC)).
Now the problem is that the iso created didnt boot automatically, so I started it from OpenFirmware using "boot cd:,yaboot". The CD starts and detects the Hard Drive and the CDROM, but when it tries to load the modules it says that it cant find "/lib/modules/2.6.14.5". Before I created the ISO i changed the drivers.tgz with the new modules from my custom kernel, but it seems not to copy the drivers.tgz or it didnt extract it... Can someone give me a hint or another way to create a debian-netinst ISO with custom kernel!? Thanks Marco -- Blog: http://p0l0.blogspot.com Registered GNU/Linux User #364546
