Hello Luigi,
thank you for your feedback. Regarding your hints, I already tried ext 2, ext 3 and ext 4. :-) I was running DEBIAN 6 before, this mean the enviroment is setup in the right way. I can use AmigaOS 4.1, MOS and Debian 6 over a bootmenue.
So it is really no problem of the installation itself, something was changed and now the PEG is no more working. It seems that some parts of the base system could not be installed, but I cannot say which one…
Is there no official who could be informed about this problem? Because the installation routines for the PEG are also in Debian 8 and as I wrote before everything is working fine up to 95%.
If it was the best machine, why did you sold it? :-) Would be usefully now. :-)
Best regards, Robert
Last that i had been installed was debian wheezy 7.6 install it without upgrading during installing ( dont install upgrade from network during the installation procedures) . Remember to make the Swap and the / partitions dont use ext 4 try with ext 2 fs because is more compatible with old pegasos2 openfirmware. remember to make a boot partition where you will copy the kernle and the intrd.img ... you can use that partion for boot loader of morphos and amigaos 4 plus for start osx . I cant help moore because i dont have a peggy2 any more :-( ... one of the best machine that i had in my life. Luigi

I and also the other guys in our forum already tried to install 7.8, which ends in the same problem like 8.0. Which version was running on your Peg-2?
I only remember that 6.x was running fine.
But it would be nice to find the problem, because the part with the installation works fine up to 95%. MfG, Robert Send from iPhone 5
Thanks for responding

in our forum now 3 other guys with a PEG-II did a test and came excatly to the same result / problem.
I am not a linux specialist, but the kernel part which is starting the installation is working fine. But because the installation fail and later also the booting there must be a difference in the kernel which is installed later.
The Pegasos is based on the CHRP plattform:
Thank you if you can help in any kind.
Best regards, Robert
Oh that is not good. Let me reach out to a friend.

Hello all,
I was using a long time Debian 6.x on my Pegasos II G4 with 1Ghz CPU und 2GB Memory.
Last week I got the stupid idea to install everything new using latest Debian 7.8, because
on the DVD there is still the install script for the Pegasos. :-)
Installation itself is working fine till 95% and then abort there, some like after-installation trigger.
We tested it on several Pegasos II that we have, always the same. I can go on without installing
more software, but I assume that also some basic stuff is missing.
Also the 3.x kernel is no more working on the Pegasos II, you will get screen with grafic trash
right after starting the kernel.

Any idea? I tried it in the IRC, but got no answer.
It would be really fantastic if this problem could be fixed and the Pegasos II will work again.
Best regards, Robert aka aPEX
