Howdy, I've been trying to get d-i initrds to work with aranym without trashing the screen [0]. I noticed something interesting in my testing today. [0] <http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/aranym/> With the same kernel (2.6.18-4) and args ... Args = root=/dev/ram load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=20000 debug=par video=atafb:vga16 stram_swap=0 console=tty debian-installer/framebuffer=false init=/bin/sh The result is a trashed screen when atafb loads. | atafb: screen_base 01700000 real_screen_base 01700000 screen_len 311296 | Determined 640x480, depth 4 | virtual 640x972 | Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 If I drop the Ramdisk = parameter from the aranym config, atafb loads as follows, and works just fine. | atafb: screen_base 00c80000 real_screen_base 00c80000 screen_len 311296 | Determined 640x480, depth 4 | virtual 640x972 | Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 I tried all the atafb configurations listed, but I couldn't get a working result and have a ramdisk. The Floppy setting doesn't trash the screen but we don't have any initrd's small enough. I don't suppose we can build a bootable cdrom for atari? Any ideas? Thanks, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@marenka.net>
