error trying to boot on a pismo
All
I happily took deliver of my new pismo today, so am of course working at
installing debian on it.
I have as far as I can tell followed the yaboot faq from ethan benson 's
website. Yet get an error.
The error is
I get past the thing where I choose to click on the penguin and the arrow,
and it then gets to the menu with l m or c, I press l or just let it go to
default (linux) and it now has on the screen
Welcome to yaboot version 0.9
Config file read, 631 bytes
boot: <null>
Loading kernel...
Image not found.... tryt again
WARNING ! default_close called !
boot: _
I have no idea what could be causing this. I cant think wherelese to look,
as most other web resources seem out of date compared to the yaboot faq, I
am using the debian install stuff from original potato, though I downloaded
and installed newer debs of yaboot and powerpc-utils from the debian mirror,
latest potato stuff.
my current yaboot.conf is
boot=/dev/hda9
ofboot=hd:9
device=hd:
delay=10
timeout=20
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lic/yaboot/ofboot
default=Linux
# nonvram
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.17
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda10
read-only
partition=9
enablecdboot
macos=hd:16
I dont have macos installed currently, but thought I should give it a 2 GB
partition, and install it sometime, if jsut to play dvd's if nothing else.
My partition map (would be nice if I could clean it up somewhat, but hey) is
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map

there were originally no where near that many partitions, but after booting
off the macos install cd and playing with the disk changing utility for a
bit, it added all those or something. I eventually noticed I couldnt get an
800 KB partitioon in the macos thing, so I added two partins from macos, one
big one and the two GB one at the end, and then before installing macos I
rebooteed off the debian cd and started trying to get it installed.
So would anyone know what I should try to get debian to boot with the above
error?
Thanks
See You
Steve
