Re: PowerPC + PReP

[Francois Chenais <Francois.Chenais@citb.bull.net>]

Because my 41 Prep Parition is to small for the 2.4.18 kernel, and for experience, I want to re-install my this machine.

I have downloaded th 4 floppies from 
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/prep/images-1.44/

but I have a problem while setting up the scsi device and the installation stops.

I have message from ncr53c8xx driver :

ncr53c8xx: 53c825a detected
.
.
aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsii 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
                                 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0, serial_number=1, serial_number_at_timeout=1


	Any idea ?

Can I use files in 
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/prep/
for a CD-ROM installation ? HOW ?

  |   | It's just a working kernel, so you could use the one that comes with the
