RiscPC is in a similar situation. While it has 2.6 images, there's
only incomplete and completely untested debian-installer support. I
just emailed the only two people I could find who expressed interest
in Debian on RiscPC over the last two years, and we'll see if they
want to help me get debian-installer working. Is there anyone else
who uses Debian on RiscPC or Riscstation?
I'm not, but I like to, on both machines.
Currently I'm stuck:
- with my RiscPC
I do have some kernels lying around, but I can't find an install disk for
kernel 2.4.26, and newer kernels (2.4.27) end up with a 'kernel panic -
attempt to kill init!' which I can't resolve.
Seems that I can install a kernel 2.4.19 without too much problems, but
that doesn't support my network card (an EtherB).
- with my Riscstation:
It seems to hang after booting from initrd and starting init. Keypresses
are echoed to the screen, but that's it.
I'm using Peter Naulls' LinLoader 0.40 as a bootloader on both machines.
Any help is appreciated!
I can help in testing on both machines.
I have already some experience setting up an i386-based system, but am
stuck with a lack of information on how to startup things on my RISC OS
machines.
I live in the Netherlands and know some people who are trying to setup
Debian on their RiscPC's, but they too find it difficult to setup due to a
lack of information.
Simon.
