Re: Installing on a dual G5
Yeah, I was going to as soon as I figure out exactly which one of many
different images that I failed with I should be using :-) I am burning
the sid_d-i image as per Colin's suggestion and will report back soon.
I burned the image at
<http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/powerpc/
20040622/sarge-powerpc-businesscard.iso>. After entering install-power4
at the yaboot prompt, yaboot loads the kernel and the RAM disk, and
then the machine dies with an OF error. Specifically, it fails trying
to start the CPU at /cpus/PowerPC,G5 -- not too surprising, as my cpus
are at /cpus/PowerPC,G5@0 and /cpus/PowerPC,G5@1, according to OF. I
assume this is why you said that I need to use an SMP kernel, but I see
no such kernel on that image.
Suggestions?
