Hello list,
(Special thanks to Martin from http://www.olifantasia.com, without whose
valuable resources /stepping stones/, provided at his site, I would have dropped
the matter.)
I've written a HOWTO on how to install from scratch
Debian Sarge PPC on QEMU, accompanied with a suitable (with Debian patches) 2.4
kernel with DHCP networking and Ext3 journalling enabled, so the OS would
be convenient for serious usage. Martin asked me to make a
HOWTO, and a recent mailing list post ("Looking for Debian PPC image") as well
as a lack of information on the QEMU user forum and the rest of the Net
indicates that it should be useful to others.
Find it here: http://www.overselfresearch.com/kb/qemu.html
There is one thing missing, please help complete it
-- local X configuration in step 7. I have tried several combinations, e.g.
using fbdev in X, enabling Cirrus framebuffer support in the kernel
configuration under "Console Drivers", and "vga=ask video=cirrusfb" kernel
boot options, but a black screen when booting the emulated PReP machine is
all. I know from Jocelyn Mayer's website that he has managed to run it
successfully with the framebuffer, which prompted my attempts at that,
but there are no other details on his site (I have tried
contacting him a week ago, hopefully he reads the list).
Hope this helps and thanks in advance for your
consideration. Awaiting feedback,
Vesko |
