RE: AW: kernel compile on RS6000 7043-260
I finally got it running. Kernel compiles well an boots. The problem must have had to do something with initscripts. After I updated to initscripts 2.86.ds1-1.1 from sid, the new kernel behaves as expected. Thanks to all !

I did exactly what You wrote before, so the sym53c8xx and scsi disk IS in config flagged with Y. When I compare the top of the logs, there's already something different. The original kernel loads ramdisk first and later finds the cramfs and mounts it. The new kernel does a chrp-boot... Must really have to do with initrd/cramfs/ramdisk. Can you send your config? I've got a couple of 7043-260s, and could try out your kernel on one of mine. The thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to be trying to init the scsi controller on the machine in the 'newer' config you have listed. I'll have to do a bit of digging around, but I'll try to get my kernel config to send you. BTW I just want to build my own kernel to get rid of the IDE support in the original kernel, since the noprobe kernel argument doesn't work and this adds about 2 minutes boot time for probing something, that isn't really there. Maybe noprobe is fixed in a newer kernel, but as far as I know, 2.6.11 is the last 32bit-smp-kernel. And although I'm on a 64-bit machine, I'd like to use the 32-bit environment for compatibility reasons to an older ppc-machine here. FYI, I've only run a 64-bit kernel on POWER3 machines like the 260; the 64-bit kernel runs 32-bit userland code just fine, you can use a 64-bit kernel to run the same exact software that's running on a 32-bit Power(PC) machine.

Installing Debian on an iMac G5 - stable and testing d-i fail
Hi! I'm migrating Debian on an iMac G4 to a new G5 (Apple PowerMac8,2 5.2.5f1 BootRom). I downloaded debian-testing-powerpc-businesscard.iso (not too much bandwith to use) today from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/current/. When I run install-power4 I get the following messages: ... mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice Oops: kernel access of bad area sig: 11 [#1] ... Kernel panic: attempted to kill init! 0 Rebooting in 180 seconds .. I got the very same message from the stable installer. After a couple of hours of googling and searching in this mailing list I really don't know what to try next. Any ideas?

New ghc6 needs manual bootstrapping for C++ ABI/libgmp3 transition.
Hi, Because of the C++ ABI transition, ghc6 needs to be rebuild against the new libgmp3c2. This however requires a manual bootstrap because all build dependencies can't be installed. We're however lucky that the old and new libgmp3 are compatible and nothing is using any C++. This allows an easy workaround. I'm still looking for people who want to build it on one of the following arches: hppa, ia64, powerpc and s390. To build it, follow the instruction in debian/bootstrap-extracted. PS: The build dependency on libgmp3-dev should have been = 4.1.4-7, 4.1.4-10 is currently the latest in sid and available on all arches.
