BAh, you should have gotten a pegasos 2 with full 2.6.7 kernel and
debian-installer support :)

Mmm. I cannot help you much, the only amigaone i ever saw was oopsing about
disk stuff, but this was one year ago and probably due to deffective hardware
(broken board, bad memory, bad ide cable, what else do i know ?).

Yeah, i had to fight with this kind of nonsense when i first started the
pegasos 1 patch. Finally of the mulit-megabit patch one double a4 page of
usefull patch resulted. But then, the pegasos being a chrp, it is much nearer
to already supported hardware.

Err, from what kernel source you get it, and where do you get the compiled
version, not to speak about the debian installation initrd, but i guess you
still use those adapted boot-floppies.
