Re: Debian Woody on SGI O2 -- SUCCESS
Hi I got an o2 like you with 128 megs of Ram,R5k , so I installed a
debian with your way, thanks for the details.
- boot the kernel with bootp - ok
- mount the /dev/nfs for / with nfs - ok
- then a shell on the sgi - nice :)
- make a partiton with ext format on /dev/sda1 - ok
- create the base fs - ok
* i forgot to unmount the partition on the o2 *
- reboot & configure the eprom - ok
booting ....
... then during the linux kernel booting, the sgi shutdown, no more power.
Now I can't start the o2. The On/Off button don't do anything, i don't
know what hapened !!?? I don't know what to do to see which part of
the hardware crashed.
aaaahhhrg
