I found this initrd image (9/20/2003) that I am using for now:
http
vmlinuz-2.4.22-power3 32-bit image as well,

Anybody know where I should obtain the debian-installer initrd image for
PowerPC systems? I plan to access the install image through NFS, and
install via FTP/HTTP. I assume that this installation method is supported.

Sven,
I would like to test the chrp-rs6k image and use it in conjunction with di;
however, I need zImage (or zImage.inetd) for network install, and the
vmlinux image.
It is not clear to me what these .deb and .udeb files are. A readme file
would help.

parallel see how far I can get with d-i, which Chris indicated he may be
able to supply me.
Once I have gotten this resolved, I will continue trying to figure out how
to create a single PREP/CHRP bootable CD.

t none of the Debian ppc kernel wizards have made 32 and
64 bit IBM PREP & CHRP precompiled kernels available at the Debian ftp
site. If I had such kernels then I could easily test the latest version of
boot-floppies on a whole bunch of systems:
http://people.debian.org/~schmitz/3.0.24-2003-01-0
-powerpc/
Where can I find the equivalent files for Sarge?
They do not appear to be in:
- ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/
If they do not yet exist, can someone create these ( I would if I knew how
)?

Furthermore, what is the recommended kernel version for the IBM PREP, CHRP and

The reason I am asking is because Woody ships with 2.2 as default, allowing

tances I broke out to the shell and issued the commands
manually, or as with the case of making the system bootable, delayed the
task until the install was complete.
I will work on this document some more and find a URL for it.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if anything is unclear or if you
x27; would have to be modified much to work
properly; however, since 'debian-installer' is what will ship on the next
release I will see where I can help out there.

Does anybody know where I submit a bug for this directory:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/
It needs a 'power3' subdirectory for IBM RS6000/pSeries workstations.
