O2 installation: No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.
I'm attempting to install Debian on an O2.
I've used a couple of netboot images - currently I'm using the netboot
image I downloaded from
ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-mips/current/images/r5k-ip32/
I have successfully partitioned the hard drive as per the guide provided
by http://js1.kicks-ass.org/~js1/debianO2.html
The installation then continues through the "Installing the base system"
portion of the show until I get:
"No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources."
Console 4 reports:
base-installer: info: could not determine kernel flavour (this message
is repeated several times, btw)
base installer: info: Found kernels ''
Over on console 3 running archdetect returns "mips/unknown"
I've tried two different apt repositories (ftp.au.debian.org and
ftp.us.debian org) just to be sure, and have tried all three releases
(stable, testing and unstable) also.
The box itself is:
System: IP32
Processor: 300 Mhz R5000, with FPU
Memory size: 192 Mbytes
Graphics: CRM, Rev C
Audio: A3 version 1
with a SCSI cdrom and 13 gig SCSI disk.
I hope that is sufficient info?
