Send mail to linux-m68k@lists.linux-m68k.org?
Please include some dmesg output. I have a 10GB IDE disk in my Amiga and it
works without problems, with Linux, did not try to use space after 8GB for
AOS, why should I?

Which graphical installation procedure? You are not trying to install Corel
Linux or something worse? AFAIK there is no grafical installation procedure
in debian. You talking about debian 2.2 here, aren't you?

Reinstalled debian or the linux kernel? Come people, please be a little more
precise and please send actual screen output (dmesg), it gives a lot of
information and is much more accurate than when you describe it in your
own words.

ncurses? A server does not need xfree, if this is what you understand a GUI
to be. Actually, for a server, I would use a cheap K6 machine and not one of
the rare m68k machines...

crashed? The kernel? xfree? log file please.

2.2.10 is used in the potato boot-floppies. There is no newer stable kernel
version for m68k. If you want 2.3.x, you have to compile it yourself. If you
want it to be optimized for afterburner, you have to compile it yourself.

Me to, I have a PII for that...
