There are Users in PPC who have needs, so there must be a way to solve the social disharmony between Sven Luther and the d-i team.

Re: Debian Installer hangs SOLVED!
Booting the installer on a 7305 (DigitalServer 7000) works like described in the document "Installing RedHat Linux 6.0 on a Digital (DEC) Alpha 4100" (Blakey, J. 1999; http://www.alphalinux.org/docs/rawhide/4100_install.shtml). in short: Use the Floppy-Disks Bootfloppies set boot_osflags "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1" boot dva0 -file linux.bin Like this I was able to boot into the debian installer. Thanks for helping. Adrian.

Debian Installer hangs
Dear List Installing Debian (Debian Alpha Port) on a rawhide with a diskaray connected to a QLogic HVD (ISP 1040)* leads to a kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 If I connect a single SCSI Drive to a Symbios Card, removing all QLogic-Adapters, I can install Debian. With such an installation and having connected the diskarray afterwards, I can access the array and use the disks (unfortunately there is no space to mount a single drive in the box nowhere, so I must use the diskarray solely). With this, I just want to state the hardware is basically working with Debian... What I have tried so far, with same results: - use LordSuch's Netinst (from CD) - use the rescue- and rootdisk (from floppy) - preformat the disks in the array with ext3 and bsd disklabels (bsd disklabels are needed for debian-alpha to boot) - with unformatted and unpartitioned disks - different scsi cabling and changing PCI slots - using bootflag rootfstype - googling to get other hints... What else can I try? What does the number 01:00 in the error-message mean? If I change the cabling, sometimes I get 02:00 or even 08:00. Thank you for your help!
