Hi! This did it! Thanks very much! I had to change "vmlinuz" into "//kernels/vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga", too. But that was no problem - I know the CD's directories in and out, since my search for root.bin ;-). Omitting the dots was no further problem, but thanks you mentioned it. The Installer does now start properly. Users should avoid having FASTKICK (ROM -> 32-bit-RAM) installed. Unfortunately my Fusion40 does this automatically, as long as I don't disable it for every particular boot-up. No real problem there, but it's so awfully slow compared to having FASTKICK. On the other hand debian-installer needs the MMU itself - seems there's no way around it. At the moment I'm trying to tell the installer, that I've got a Nexus-SCSI controller, which seems to me is the next obstacle on the way. I'll be browsing the FAQs and compatibility lists for this issue. By the way... I just used UAE to check the CD. Could have been trouble with CD-Rs and my old quad-speed-drive.

But I can't even start the installer, because it doesn't find the size of the ram-disk. This may be related to the fact, that there ist no "root.bin" throughout the whole CD. I made a Screenshot for you to see the error message:Sorry, StartInstall should probably say ../../cdrom/initrd.gz. If that's incorrect, please let me know.Nah, that's not a valid AmigaOS path. `/' means `one up' (and `:' means `root'), so it should be: //cdrom/initrd.gzPS: I cross-chrecked this with UAE, but the problem persists.UAE doesn't support linux. :-(You mean: (without extra patches) UAE doesn't support emulating the MMU?
