Re: Problem Debian Apus rescue.bin
I sent this to Bjorn but thought I would send it to the list as well to see
if anyone has any ideas on my problem.
Howdy Björn
I noticed that you have Debian2.2 running on ur PPC. I am trying to install
DebianApus here but am running into weird problems. First of all what are u
using for a Bootsrap? I tried Amiboot-5.6 from the Debian68k install but it
doesn't have a --apus option. I am trying to use Bootstrap from the RedHat
Apus install but I can only get as far as "Install Operating System &
Kernels" secton of the dbootstrap. It says the "Attempt to extract the
Rescue Floppy from disk failed. -Bad Address
When I go to the 'Alt-F3' screen I get:
user.info dbootstrap[27]: nofile
/instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/Amiga/images-1.44/rescue.bin
found, kernel not in default location
user.err dbootstrap[27]: set_loop couldn't create a loop device for
/instmnt/debian/Amiga/images-1.44/rescue.bin
user.err dbootstrap[27]: extracting Rescue Floppy from non-floppy device
/instmnt/debian failed with -1
Here's my 'Start-Install Script'
run >NIL: c:lxwoshack
bootstrap --apus -m memfile1 -k linux -r root.bin root=/dev/ram
video=pm2fb:1024x768-8
the memfile is something that I am playing around with. So far it makes no
difference, with or without it.
Does any of this mean anything to you? I am farly new to this Linux thing
but I did have the Debian 68k up and running with xwindows and gnome for a
few months. I also have Red Hat Apus on a seperate hard disk. It needs
work, but I am more interested in trying to get Debian Apus working on my
system. (see my sig)
P.S. Also I am running Warpup with the PPCLibemu. The Linux partitions are
on a dedicated 1.2 gig fujitsu hooked up to a A2091. I had Debian 68k
sucsessfully running on the same drive before and just tried the 68k
install again, no problems. The SDA1 is on an Amiga partition.
