Where exactly did it hang? What was the command you used, and what was the exact output? > 1) Has anyone tried this? Success? I tried it now, and it got stuck indeed: ... Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:db4-devel-ppc_4xx ########################################### [100%] Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:db4-utils-ppc_4xx ########################################### [100%] Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:glib2-ppc_4xx ########################################### [100%] Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:glib2-devel-ppc_4xx ########################################### [100%] Preparing... ########################################### [100%] <hangs here> > 2) Does anyone have suggestion on how turn on debugging with the install > script? It's not a a script, but a binary, so you are limited to tools like strace, ltrace etc. In my case I see this: # strace -p 21197 Process 21197 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x96fe17c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL i. e. it's hanging in a futex call. [Futextes have often before been a major PITA]. A quick workaround seems to be to build the installer on the native (Fedora 9) system; download the source and the Makefile from the git repository: http://git.denx.de/?p=eldk/build.git;a=tree;f=install;h=5f1a9bb9ca5757f4efbca7ff4f48bf869a2ef949;hb=90ed3ca5e1163d771badf1c26f76e95d95e13990 and run: $ make TARGET_ARCH=ppc Then use this "install" binary to replace Then reboot, and then try again. Note that the reboot is really necessary, or at least I do not know of any other way to get rid of the stuck futexes.
