Re: Can I install debian on a e300 board?

[Bear <jilingshu@gmail.com>]

hi,
Thanks for your answer but it seems like no effect.
I tried to compile a "hello world" application with powerpc-linux-gnu-* 
toolchain and copy it to target board. This application can run 
correctly. So I think PowerPC architecture of Debian should run on my 
board. The error maybe caused by the kernel configuration.

According to a very early post of mine, someone said e300 core can run 
Debian-PowerPC 
port(http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2010/09/msg00054.html).
I think there are much be some way to install debian on my MPC8313E -RDB 
board. Maybe the default installer cannot work? Or I have to install 
Debian manually?

Thanks.
