Comments/Problems:
Please find attached two attempts to start a sarge install, first on a MCP750 and second on a
MVME3604-5. I used the build of 18 December 2004, but I get the same result with the "testing" build of
18 November 2004 on sarge-powerepc-1.iso install/powerpc/vmlinuz-prep.initrd. First note that one must specify a
memory size on boot, probably because the "residual data" is stored in high memory and will be written over if not protected
some way. The version 2.4 prep.initrd does not work at all on these systems. I think I heard somewhere that there were patches
for the prep build that were not present in 2.4 but were present in 2.6??? I never was able to get Woody to work with either
of these boards. The version 2.2 boot-mcp750.bin produced by Eric Valette DOES completely work on my MCP750.
I think the problems I am having here are not really install problems, but rather kernel configuration problems. It also seems
that the Debian support for the Motorola PPC boards (MVME 2600/2700/3600/4600) and MCP750 has not worked in some time????
I have two MCP750s, a 3604-5, and a 2604 that I can use to help debug these problems. I can also borrow a 2700 and a 5100 if
desired. Is there anyone in the Debian developers group working on these boards? If so, I don't want to be in the way, but if
not I will gladly try to help debug these problems. If anyone can enlighten me, please do so. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Bill Campbell
