 What do you mean by the spinner? I've had very long boot times with 
 an apparently dead machine depending on graphics options.

 For now I'm running 2.6.39 with one patch for keyboard/mouse handling
 which is now upstream.

 I can try a more recent kernel on Thursday.

Thanks.  Please forgive my ignorance:

 - Gabriel, what options do you suggest for a reasonably fast boot?
   Does Debian's default configuration need corresponding changes?

 - Andrew, what do you mean by the spinner?  Could you take a photograph?

 - Has anything changed in the month or so since this report was last
   discussed?

2011-06-23 Thread Andrew Buckeridge
Package: linux-image-3.0.0-rc3-powerpc

Firmware boot command line is: --

I get this warning. Is it important? Is it related?

I suggest a No, its not ok button too.

Still get warning after I installed these packages: --

If radeon/SUMO2_me.bin, radeon/SUMO2_pfp.bin, radeon/SUMO_me.bin,
radeon/SUMO_pfp.bin are required how do I install them?

They are not required unless you have some very new Radeon cards.
But I should add them to the firmware-linux-nonfree package.

That seems to be a firmware bug on the Pegasos, but there is a
workaround for it since Linux 2.6.35.

 I could not find any powerpc builds between these.

powerpc: Fix for Pegasos keyboard and mouse

This refers to a change made in Linux 2.6.36.

Please can you test Linux 3.0-rc3, currently available in experimental?

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-2
Severity: normal


Binary packages that have failed to boot on my Pegasos2 are
linux-image-2.6.39-2-powerpc_2.6.39-2,
linux-image-2.6.39-1-powerpc_2.6.39-1 and
linux-image-2.6.38-2-powerpc_2.6.38-5.

There is nothing interesting on the screen.  After loading from firmware
they just stick at one of the characters of a BSD style spinner.

I am running 2.6.32-5-powerpc so this was used to report bug.

As a result I am not able to confirm if bug 627585 has been fixed.
