Everything is official Debian package... in theory. I tried to install the
debian-multimedia mplayer in the past, do you think that there could be a
package which I would not have removed correctly and which would interfere with
the official package? Anyway, I had the same problem with debian-multimedia's
mplayer as well.

download source from mplayerhq.hu, compiling is explained in the docs, and is 
very easy.

And no, there is no such official debian package. mplayer as in 
www.mplayerhq.hu has liscense compability issues with debian.
atleast that is what used to be the issue. Maby not anymore, dunno. But as it 
seems, it does not work...

as I started with, download the official sources btw rc3 also had some 
critical issues as I vagely remember.

There is now.  At least in sid.  I believe it just appeared.  It worked 
in a quick test.  This was on an x86.  My old powerpc hasn't been up for 
a while.

1. download initrd.gz and vmlinux from

which ends in a No filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs error
and the corresponding kernel panic

2. tried the same with the initrd.gz and vmlinux from gtk-miniiso/,
which results in a Fatal error: image too large to fit in destination
error, and the corresponding kernel panic as it doesn't find root

3. wanted not try out netbooting, but it is not available on this
platform

4. Grabbed an old BootX install on an external SCSI drive, and used
gtk-initrd.gz and gtk-linux from the ISO image:
whichever combination of 'install video=' parameters I entered, all I
got were the OF status messages: everything seems OK until 'MMU:exit',
then I don't get any output, be it on the serial console (which is OF's
output-device), on a PCI Radeon (on which I get the OF status
messages), or on the buit-in valkyrie (which seems to freeze on the
MacOS background).

If you have other suggestions, I'll happily give them a try
