Install 4.0 r0 "Etch" on IBM p5 510 inside LPAR
Hello to all, I tried to install both from netinst iso (debian-40r0-powerpc-netinst.iso 07-Apr-2007 13:36 233M) and from disk 1 iso (debian-40r0-powerpc-CD-1.iso 07-Apr-2007 17:42 629M). Both times the installer in stage 1 missed some files and /var/log/syslog shows the following entries: Apr 18 12:56:34 cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount succeeded: device=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd Apr 18 12:56:34 cdrom-detect: Detected CD 'Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 "Etch" - Official powerpc CD Binary-1 20070407-14:58' Apr 18 12:56:48 cdrom-detect: Detected CD with 'stable' (etch) distribution ...

On checking the integrity of the cd in the first run I get "./dists/etch/main/binary-powerpc/Packages file failed the MD5 checksum verification. ...". In the second run Packages.gz fails. I did a lot more runs and usually the run stops at Packages but sometimes it stops at Packages.gz. For me it looks like something corrupts "big" files. I checked the md5sums of the iso downloads - they are ok. I booted the system from cds burned on two distinct writers attached to distinct pcs. I get always the same behavior.

I switched to powernowd because of problems with cpufreqd. I think I never read that thread until today, so I just had a glance on it now, and I confess I can't relate the problems described in there with the minor probs I have on this machine: The "kernel lockups" described in there -- provided we're talking about the same thing, but I doubt that heavily -- seem to have happened here about a year ago when some X package(s?) had issues here on my Powerbook. But I believe this was a veritable X crash here, no kernel lockup. But these problems are gone and everything here, with a relatively fresh unstable Debian, works like a charm. There are minor problems from time to time, but they're so small I don't even remember what they are ... Yes I had some probs here, some months ago, after I played with my hdparm.conf: after that when booting the machine the hard disk was not found by the system at times. I reinstalled my old hdparm.conf, and all seems fine again ... Oh yes, some config here, might be useful: _ $ zgrep FREQ /proc/config.gz CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PMAC=y $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-rc4-060811-dirty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060729 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-10)) #1 Fri Aug 11 00:16:22 CEST 2006 $ apt-cache policy cpufreqd cpufreqd: Installed: 2.2.1-2 Candidate: 2.2.1-2 HTH Good luck Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer: /ICQ: 286585973/ + + + /AIM: crashinglinux/ http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer I made slight changes on Key ID: E3037113.

I *think* the disk was not found: the boot process simply stopped, didn't move any more, and the error message I saw was something like "hda: lost interrupt", or so.
