Finally i get system booted. I already downloaded Fedora 12 DVD latest build, but decided to try harder with Debian. Things i learned: 1) for some reason passing video=ofonly works never for first time, but mostly for second boot try. 2) here you can download daily builds: http://cdimage.debian.org/ 3) there is strange thing (timeout wrong) with SID latest DVD build, you have to press [TAB] before ir shows boot: prompt 4) rescue64 target does not work as expected from latest daily-build.iso 5) if you select Power6 mode on Power7 LPAR, then installer detects 64-bit kernel much better :) 6) debian installer generates wrong yaboot.conf, device= and partition= must be commented out to boot. 7) yabootconfig also does not generate working config. but much better than installer. 8) i decided that UUID is evil, and KISS (keep it simple stupid) works. changed all UUIDs to boot=/dev/sda1, root=/dev/sda2, also removed UUIDs from /etc/fstab 9) hard disk booting also fails for first time, even with append="video=ofonly" for first time 10) thanks for help Gasha On 07/27/2011 07:39 PM, David Ricar wrote: On 07/27/2011 02:11 PM, Gasha wrote: |
