RE: Need help with install Debian on INTEL SS4000-e
Now that you have the system booting into d-i you should be able to complete
the Debian install to a working Debian box. Congrats on that, it took me a
while to get there too with the help of JFS. The kernel version in the
zImage is from
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/ I
think and this is v2.6.32.5. This kernel doesn't have any support for the
LEDS, fan controller or the power button. This thread
http://osdir.com/ml/debian-arm/2012-07/msg00039.html by Arnaud describes how
to patch kernel 3.4 to add this support though there are some tricks to this
that other threads there discuss (http://osdir.com/ml/debian-arm/2012-07/)
and the built zImage has to be patched with devio to insert some binary
op-codes to set the correct machine ID. I've run into difficulties building
a new 3.4 kernel with the patches applied though the patches are not the
issue. Finding a kernel defconfig that builds a zImage/initrd.gz that are
not too big for the Flash space and getting the correct paths within the
kernel to the loadable modules have been the problems.
Anyone else succeed?

Yes, maybe.
