hi all!
i use debian-linux on pc for a long time, but i'm
new with ppc...
i've tried to install debian ppc 2.2r3 on a g4-400
pci. atapi-cdrom and ide-hdd are generic, the hdd's tested are 3,2gb fujitsu and
6,4gb ibm, both from pc.
the hdd's are initialized with mac-fdisk for
apple-use in full length...
rescue-image is booting correctly from cd, starting
installation and all works well but partitioning. on 6,4gb ibm i've made
partitions with mac-fdisk:
hda1: Apple_Partitiontable length 63
blocks
hda2: Apple_Bootstrap length 1600
blocks
hda3: swap length 524288 blocks
(256MB)
hda4: native ext2 length 3GB
hda5: Apple_HFS rest of blocks
after returning to installation-program there are
no swap or ext2 partition found to initialize nor after rebooting. under cfdisk
there are no partitions found, partition-map is empty, but in mac-fdisk all
created partitions are listed... but no initialisation under
install...
after creating partitions with cfdisk too
(Apple_Bootstrap partition created as PPC prep Boot #41), initialisation of swap
and root works, but there is no chance to boot from ofboot after the command
mkofboot... the partitions are not the same as under mac-fdisk, as the 63-blocks
partition-map is not shown under cfdisk. the partitionnumbers aren't the same as
under mac-fdisk, only hda1-hda4.
with 3,2gb fujitsu it is the same, but after
deleting the cfdisk-table and renwing with mac-fdisk, cfdisk report bad signatur
on partition 1, but booting works and the ofboot-device is really hda2 because
of the map on hda1.
during bootup the kernel reports errors in
libraries, the errors are not replicable, on every bootup another lib... so i
think theres something wrong with filesystems on hdd.
booting the 6,4gb ibm by rescue-image and option
root=/dev/hda3 shows the same errors on bootup as with the bootable
fujitsu...
so what's wrong, any ideas???
thanks,
titus
