What is IPL ?

[Martin Quinson]

Hello,

I'm the french translator of dbootstrap, and I can't translate what I don't
understand, so I have to ask it here :

What does the following messages mean ? 

#: bootconfig.c:1555
msgid "Running ZIPL to make the kernel able to IPL from the DASD..."

#: bootconfig.c:2582
msgid ""
"ZIPL could not be installed. You are not able to IPL this Linux system right "
"now. Please see the log file and manually repair the problem."

Don't you think it would be an improvement to redo these sentences in a more
understandable way ? ;)

Bye, Mt.
PS: I lag a bit behind the CVS, so I'm sorry if it was already solved...

You won't ever find it with potato, it's somewhat experimental in
woody.

My mistake.

What is the default? I don't remember getting asked that either
.

In fact, I didn't get asked any debconf questions when the base system
was getting installed by boot-disks, so I assume that everything just
using defaults?

failed install : bf 3.0.17 ppc (powermac)

[Fabrice Lorrain (home)]

[no CC, thanks]

Hi,

I tried to install woody (bf 3.0.17) on a G4 this weekend.
harware : G4, 400Mhz, 1Go RAM, 2 ide harddrives

First try: using an USB floppy drive...
Doesn't seem to be supported. Might be nice if it were
written in the "woody install manual".

2nd try: network boot
hmmm, boot enet doesn't work, some google search + reading,
works with "boot enet:0" --> patch in "install manual" ?
It seems I didn't find the right image to load through
tftp (dhcp + tftp + logs + tcpdump everything was find)
but I keep getting a freeze in openboot during the tftp.
What image am I suppose to use?

3rd try: yaboot
Last just because I though a had only hfs+ partitions.
Did some reading in d-powerpc, and I didn't get a clear
picture about yaboot booting over hfs+. Is it supported
or not ?
 
first boot, got the installation prompt, boot and ...

"...ok
copying OF device tree...done
Calling quiesce...
booting...
_"
... the G4 is frozen (no response from the keyboard, the cdrom
stop). After some tests I gave a try with mem=512M and it works.
Seems to be a kernel bug here, but it might be nice if the solution
were documented.

>From there, the first stage installation went pretty fluently, no
logs on any tty. Reboot, but I wasn't able to log for the second
stage install (some pam message, doesn't say much).

Problems on the console during the boot:
S20modutils, depmod -a seg fault on appletalk.o (bunch of Bad symbol).

reboot, boot through yaboot, mount /dev/hdbwhatever /target, chroot
/target.
base-config, answer a bunch of question (no tasksel, no dselect)
everythg
seems ok, but at the end base-config keep telling me that one
package failed to install. Retry --> no. Leaving base-config give
me the following message on the console :
"hostname --fqdn gave non-zero exit code 11"

Now these are the logs in /var/log/installer.log (top to bottom)
(side note 1: what are you guys using to read that f*** file ??)
" base-config: line 42: 216 Seg fault apt-get clean"
 (yeah, apt-get seg fault on whatever parameter)
"Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at 
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 57"
I got that message all over the log almost after each menu of
base-config.
After the ppp menu, I've the following line :
base-config: 40apt-setup exit with return code 139.

This is where I stand for so far ;-)
Following a mail in d-powerpc I also move /etc/inittab.real over 
/etc/inittab at some time yesterday.

Any clue what's going on ?? Is it just me or the installation is
completly broken ??

Last remark, I didn't find fsck on the rescue disk. Any reason ?

@+,

Fab

That shouldn't be necessary unless you're using UTF-8.  But it does sound like
something of that sort is wrong.  I'll try building some single-locale disks
myself and see if I can reproduce the failure.

RE: Boot failed

[Rob Martin]

I know you're all very busy.  This is very low priority to me, so
answer only when things slow down -- if you have an answer(:>

After an off-list discussion with Adam, I'm trying to work around by
rescue.bin boot problem (don't know if it is a bonafide bug, yet) by
booting from a raw kernel image on /dev/fd0.  I started by dd'ing
linux from the rescue.bin, but it doesn't work.  If I build a kernel
on another system and dd that one to /dev/fd0, it gets past bootup
into debootstrap.

Why is there a difference?

Back to the linux image from rescue.bin.  I looks like the system is
loading fine, i.e., "Loading "
Then it starts print_all'ing the following:

AX: 0212
BX: 7000  [or whatever]
CX: 5001  [oops blew right past the last cylinder]
DX: 
0400  [obviously, given the above.]

The square brackets are my editorial.  To my untrained eye, the
syssize test at line 240 of bootsect.S is not working.  Is the
bootsect_kludge turned off for linux in rescue.bin?

I should be able to boot the kernel image from rescue.bin, shouldn't
I?

TIA
Rob

Bug#122228: boot-floppies: [ppc] Can't install on Apple Cube

[Mark Brown]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: normal

When attempting to install from a hard disk on a Cube with the boot
floppies from the current archive the kernel appears to fail to init the
framebuffer.  After the early boot messages (the ones displayed using
OpenFirmware) finish the display remains unchanged 

Replacing the kernel with a current benh rsync one allowed startup to
proceed but the installer then denied the existance of my hard disk
despite the fact that the kernel was quite happy with it.  I was able to
complete the install by shelling out and running mac-fdisk, mkfs and
mount by hand.
