C500 problems
I think this is a hardware problem, but I was running LinuxPPC (1999
R5) for quite awhile on this system with no problems so i'm not sure.
Trying to install Debian Potato on a C500. It's got a 4GB SCSI drive
in it. I'm seeing 2 issues:
1) BootX - When I use the BootX extension I get an Unimplemented Trap
error. If I boot all the way to MacOS and run the app instead it
boots into the installer fine. I have the linux kernel and
ramdisk.tar.gz from the disks section in the potato directory. I've
tried making the extension an INIT instead os scri with ResEdit but
that doesn't.
2) When I get to the initialize a partition section of the installer
it hangs -- sometimes on the writing superblocks, sometimes on the
read block test. I'm using the built in scsi card from the C500
(mesh controller I think). Are there any known issues with the
default kernel that might be causing this?
Thanks - Kevin
