Yep, it did work, thanks for your help.
Now, i have to go and produce an official kernel for it, not the hand
made kernel with all stuff builtin i use.
BTW, the initrd needs to be built-in the chrp kernel-image, at least for
current states of the 2.4.22 powerpc kernel. Is there a way planned to
have this done in the same run as the debian-installer run, or do we
need to do it in three steps :
1) build the kernel image and in particular the kernel modules udebs.
2) build the initrd with this.
3) go back to the kernel sources, and build a kernel image which
includes this initrd (copying the cdrom.initrd.gz to
arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz).
This seems a not so nice way of doing things, especially the double
circular build dependence.
Also, on another topic, i maintain the driver module for the non-free,
x86 only :(, Bewan ADSL pci st and usb adsl modems. Would it make sense
building udebs for this, so that someone having it could directly make a
net install via this modems ADSL link ? If yes, is there any kind of
documentation available on doing udebs ?
