this is the second time ive heard about this, first was from Benjamin Herrenschmidt on irc, but he was replacing the kernel with one of his 2.4 builds so i thought perhaps that was causing it. (2.2.19 does not boot on large number of newer PowerMacs). perhaps busybox ifconfig/route utilties are broken on arch !i386, thats the only change i can think of which would cause this, the kernel is exactly the same as the previous build of b-f. ----- Forwarded message from Chris Bellers <cbellers@earthlink.net> ----- From: Chris Bellers <cbellers@earthlink.net> To: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Delivered-To: eb@plato.local.lan Subject: Testing/woody boot/root disk problem: MACE is broken. Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 14:00:29 -0500 X-From_: bounce-debian-powerpc=erbenson=alaska.net@lists.debian.org Sun Oct 21 11:55:44 2001 X-Mailer: The Bat! (v1.52f) Personal Reply-To: Chris Bellers <cbellers@earthlink.net> X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Precedence: list This is my first post to debian-ppc, so please bear with me. When I boot the woody boot/root disks, everything looks like it inits okay, but when I get into the installer, it rapidly becomes apparent that something is badly broken. Here are the symptoms: #1: MACE Ethernet card cannot be configured with dhcp #2: upon manual configuration, there is no connectivity at all. #3: ifconfig says the card exists (and now has a manually assigned IP. It is receiving packets, but not transmitting them) #4: Pinging *anything* results in a segmentation fault (of the busybox ping module, I assume) I should note that woody installed fine several weeks ago, there must have been some change made. And Potato still installs without incident. Here's the hardware shakedown for this system: Pmac 7600 604e/180MP cpu card 256K L2 132MB RAM ATI Mach32 video 2GB Fireball SCSI drive If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be very grateful.
