| 01:09.31 | king_crimson | hi guys... hopefully somebody can help me |
| 01:09.34 | king_crimson | this makes no sense |
| 01:10.05 | king_crimson | i've got this old powermac 6100/60, and i'm using bootx to try and load the debian ppc kernel (i've tried the one from the sarge, etch, and lenny discs) |
| 01:10.15 | king_crimson | and all it will do it change the screen colors and lock up |
| 01:10.34 | king_crimson | but what's weird is, months ago i tried it and it worked fine.. i even ran the debian install i didn't didn't have enough hard disk space at the time |
| 01:10.34 | simonrvn | um, you don't use bootx with that, use penguin |
| 01:10.41 | king_crimson | no its not an m68k |
| 01:10.42 | simonrvn | odd |
| 01:10.50 | king_crimson | its powerpc |
| 01:10.59 | simonrvn | yeh yeh |
| 01:11.14 | king_crimson | and for some reason any version of bootx newer than 1.1.3 just locks up the system on load |
| 01:11.21 | king_crimson | when i used to use 1.2.x |
| 01:11.26 | king_crimson | same machine |
| 01:11.42 | king_crimson | i've tried with os 7.5.3 and 8.6, same problems |
| 01:11.44 | king_crimson | :/ |
| 01:13.25 | king_crimson | i feel stupid that i may have just figured out the problem 5 mins after asking for help here |
| 01:13.31 | king_crimson | i wonder if these kernel images are gzipped |
| 01:13.36 | king_crimson | can bootx handle that? |
| 01:13.55 | king_crimson | i know penguin can on my quadra 950 |
| 01:16.13 | simonrvn | bootx... i've done it before |
| 01:16.23 | simonrvn | oh wait... |
| 01:16.44 | king_crimson | even if it doesn't handle gzipped, this still doesn't explain why 1.2.x locks up the machine on loading the app |
| 01:16.51 | simonrvn | i've never tried post-install gzipped booting with bootx, tmk |
| 01:17.01 | king_crimson | i'll see what happens |
| 01:18.40 | king_crimson | hmm no its not even in gzip to begin with |
| 01:18.54 | pahartik | king_crimson: One needs special kernel for that model... |
| 01:19.16 | king_crimson | which one? i don't remember having to do that before. |
| 01:19.31 | pahartik | king_crimson: AFAIK, "mklinux" |
| 01:19.44 | king_crimson | i'll look it up thanks |
| 01:20.50 | simonrvn | yes, that's the term i was looking for, thank you pahartik |
| 01:22.46 | pahartik | king_crimson: That workstation is based on NuBus and not PCI... Document at "http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/" |
| 01:23.17 | king_crimson | strange, though.. because i actually know for a fact i just ran the plain vanilla kernel right off the debian ISOs when i had it booting the installer before |
| 01:23.49 | king_crimson | i'll try this link though |
| 01:24.51 | pahartik | king_crimson: Did it detect any devices? |
| 01:25.43 | king_crimson | yeah i could use the asante ethernet dongle on the AAUI port and everything |
| 01:25.46 | king_crimson | all drives worked |
| 01:25.48 | king_crimson | no issues |
| 01:26.11 | king_crimson | read the etch CD i had burned and everything |
| 01:26.28 | king_crimson | maybe i was using a modified version of bootx |
| 01:26.31 | king_crimson | that's the only thing i can think of |
| 01:26.35 | king_crimson | brb |
| 01:27.02 | pahartik | king_crimson: Oh... Maybe my information is outdated then... |
| 01:29.45 | king_crimson | well i see a modified bootx on the link you just pasted, i'm going to see if that helps |
| 01:30.28 | king_crimson | i just figured out why 1.1.3 doesn't work for me |
| 01:30.29 | king_crimson | <PROTECTED> |
| 01:30.35 | king_crimson | i just have the onboard |
| 01:30.40 | king_crimson | A modified version of BootX_1.2b1 [ http ] provided by Ludovic [This does not work with HPV video card.] |
| 01:30.44 | king_crimson | i'm about to try this one ^ |
| 01:38.23 | simonrvn | go for it |
| 01:45.14 | king_crimson | w00t w00t |
| 01:45.16 | king_crimson | well you were right |
| 01:45.35 | king_crimson | i had to get a special 2.4.27 kernel from that site you linked |
| 01:46.09 | pahartik | king_crimson: Very good |
| 01:46.15 | king_crimson | thanks for the help |
| 01:46.20 | king_crimson | wonder if lenny will work with 2.4.27 |
| 01:47.45 | simonrvn | doubt it |
