RE: Need help with install Debian on INTEL SS4000-e

["Henk Smit" <henksmit@quicknet.nl>]

JFS,

It's finally working!!!! :-) I'm so happy

load -v -r -b 0x01800000 -m ymodem initrd.gz <-- this is different than
ramdisk.gz (I think that was the problem)
load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m ymodem zImage 
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r
0x01800000

I'm doing this for several months and finally I can install debian. thank
you very much for the recommendations!!!
Without help, I would not have found it.

Gr. Henk

Hi Henk,

To go to RAM mode, you should launch it with 'fis load rammode', and then
'g'.

But wait... If you load kernel and ramdisk via {z,y,x}modem, perhaps you
don't need it since access to the network will not be needed from inside
Redboot...


See this link :

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armel/ch05s01.html.fr#boot-firmware

(Loading rammode seems to be there just as an option to get kernel and
initrd in the device's RAM.)

So let's try without it at first...



> -       Install different ramdisk.gz and zImage (from link below)

Can you try once with the 'netboot' one instead of the 'network-console' ?
('netboot' was the one I used, 'network-console'
is for remote installation via ssh, IISC.)

Here is the link :

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-armel/current/i
mages/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/


After that, try :

load -v -r -b 0x01800000 -m ymodem initrd.gz load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m
ymodem zImage exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram
mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r 0x01800000


And ? Better ?

I'll cross the fingers ;)
