Comments/Problems:
The below are notes that I took during the install:
(nb: I'm doing the install again to provide info for Goswin.)
- Used netinst cd from 20050224 (iso date 2-23).
- Suggest putting cd versioning information onto the iso/cd. (I
couldn't find it if it's there.)
- Doesn't seem to have a good place to escape in the std flow to tell
the installer not to do the
boot partition. (forced an escape and didn't risk letting it go to a
default boot loader
install and write over the one there.)
- Indicates that eth0 is the wireless interface and eth1 is the wired
- /usr/local, /home, /macnsf went okay w/o reformatting
- Shell escaping with the installer presents a difficult situation for
mounting other partitions since
/dev/hd[ab]* is not recognized.
- install kernel-2.6.8-powerpc as part of the standard install.
- installed 2.6.10 & 11-rc4 (both from ppckernel.org) kernels onto hda5
because I know what's coming.
- nb: 2.6.10 won't startx, and 2.6.11 will with fb driver config though
w/o working wacom support.
- also (tried to) install sven's 2.6.10-3-powerpc before rebooting but
see below....
- (NEED to sync yaboot.conf again between the two systems.)
- REBOOT into base system:
- kernel 2.6.8 hangs (with the following as the tail of the boot
process:)
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 262144 bind 65536)
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda5" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
<0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..
- retry with 2.6.10 from ppckernel.org => comes up
- needed to edit /etc/network/interfaces to change eth1 to eth0,
networking wouldn't work otherwise
- In the 'select and install' step, after selecting, the list of
packages flies by and then a dialog
saying one or more packages failed to install.
- moved the /v/c/apt to /usr/v/c/apt, but still had the error (due to
kernel-2.6.10-powerpc bad install)
- removed bad install package (2.6.10-powerpc) and moved /v/c/apt back
to root partition
- Redid the select and install. NO WARNING about space with /v/c/apt on
512MB partition and
auto-starting download of 555MB of debs (desktop, web server, file
server, sql)
- Killed it since I knew it would eventually hang.
- Moved /v/c/apt to /usr/var/cache/apt for the additional space
- Downloading now, thought I'd send this off since it seems like a lot
of info as it is....
- If you want more info regarding the X stuff after getting this up,
then let me know.
- Let me know if you want any info from the logs...
