I was trying (again) to get Debian installed on my PPC. It's still not behaving
itself. After trying (unsucessfully, I might add) to get libreadline installed
without breaking everything else in existence, I finally just told dselect to
"hold" libreadlineg, and everything else that depended on it. So, it gets past
that, and then I get the wonderful kernel panic.
Now, I know that a Kernel panic is not a good thing. Anyone know what this
gibberish means? hardware? software incompatibilities with my poor mac?
FWIW --
PowerMacintosh 5400/180
48 Megs of RAM
lots of extra HDs.
It ran LinucPPC for months without any problem, and when I shut it down to do
this conversion, it had an uptime of over 120 days. Now, I can't even get it to
finish installing a basic Debian system.
One thing I did do, which might have something to do with it, was grab a new
vmlinux file for BootX. It was provided on the LinuxPPC pages.
Can I check it somehow? Is there an md5 number I can compare it with to make
sure it's not corrupt?
Gah...so many questions.
Well, any help, insight, or money to just buy a new machine would be greatly
appreciated.
