| 08:26.09 | abi | is there anything etch like i can boot on chrp? |
| 08:26.23 | abi | or do i need to search the web for old floppy images of sarge / woody and then upgrade? |
| 08:36.18 | teclo- | there are floppy images for etch |
| 08:39.38 | teclo- | wait aminute I'm trying to find them |
| 08:43.03 | teclo- | you can download http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/etch_d-i/current/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso |
| 08:43.12 | teclo- | and mount it as a loop device (mount -o loop) |
| 08:43.19 | teclo- | and you will have various floppy images |
| 08:47.28 | abi | hm.. were exactly? ive got an daily build but cant find anything related to floppy images? |
| 08:47.35 | abi | or maybe im just blind |
| 08:47.48 | teclo- | uhhh |
| 08:47.51 | teclo- | download the .iso image |
| 08:48.02 | teclo- | and on the .iso image there are floppy images |
| 08:48.28 | abi | i cant find any floppy images on the iso here |
| 08:49.25 | abi | trying to boot from cdrom gives me this " unrecognized Client rogramm formatstate not valid." error |

| 08:51.36 | teclo- | wait |
| 08:52.49 | abi | i guess thats related to booting PreP on chrp or the like |
| 08:52.55 | abi | i have to admit im the total ppc newb :) |

| 09:43.07 | teclo- | I'm here |
| 09:44.26 | teclo- | well what I did |
| 09:44.30 | teclo- | is download http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-CD-1.iso |
| 09:44.39 | teclo- | and in there, there's a install directory |
| 09:44.40 | teclo- | with stuff |
| 09:45.31 | teclo- | wait |
| 09:45.32 | teclo- | no |
| 09:45.35 | teclo- | you don't have to do that |
| 09:45.40 | teclo- | the floppy images are here: |
| 09:45.47 | teclo- | http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/floppy/ |
| 10:04.24 | teclo- | you there abi ? |
| 10:04.30 | abi | yes iam |
| 10:04.51 | abi | doesnt boot from the floppy either, gives 'ok' on the OpenFirmware prompt and thats it |

| 11:43.46 | teclo- | hm |
| 11:43.59 | teclo- | it's a PreP machine ? |
| 11:44.03 | abi | no chrp |
| 11:44.05 | teclo- | ah |
| 11:44.14 | teclo- | never used that kind of hardware |
| 11:45.02 | teclo- | you wrote the floppy images to floppies and tried booting ? |
| 11:46.12 | abi | yep |
| 11:46.31 | abi | see above, boot floppy:,\linux.bin gives an "ok" on the OpenFirmware Boot Prompt and thats it |
| 11:46.33 | teclo- | did you read the debian installation guide for etch ? |
| 11:46.42 | abi | yes, the installation guide for ChrP is unwritten |
| 11:47.24 | teclo- | Yes I was indeed figuring there is no information on how to install on chrp :) |
| 11:47.28 | teclo- | Or rather :( |
| 11:47.41 | abi | :/ |
| 11:49.45 | teclo- | indeed |
| 11:49.59 | teclo- | page 34: "Not yet written" :( |
| 11:50.20 | teclo- | well I'd say first solution would be to ask in here if someone has already tried booting Debian GNU/Linux on chrp |
| 11:50.30 | teclo- | Hello, chrp users, please raise your hand ! |
| 11:50.31 | teclo- | :P |
| 11:50.32 | abi | yes, there are several posts on the ppc mailinglist etc |
| 11:50.44 | abi | ive also downloaded some old sarge iso from Roger Leight, but it doesnt boot either |
| 11:50.44 | teclo- | The other solution is to post on the debian-powerpc mailinglist... |
| 11:50.58 | abi | already mailed -powerpc, maybe one comes up with a propper solution |
| 11:51.01 | teclo- | Yeah but I'd rather recommend to install etch |
| 11:52.06 | teclo- | for instance installing sarge fails on my Workgroup Server 8550/200 |
| 11:52.10 | teclo- | but installing etch works |
| 11:52.57 | abi | well, i dont know how the situation is on ech, there is an vmwlinuz-chrp.initrd on the cd |
| 11:53.11 | abi | but booting it doesnt work, so .. is it a bug? or is chrp indeed still unsupported? |
| 11:53.19 | teclo- | I have no idea, sorry |
| 11:53.19 | abi | or is it just me beeing plain stupid? |
| 11:53.21 | abi | :) |
| 11:53.26 | teclo- | It's prolly not you bieng stupid :) |
| 11:53.34 | teclo- | chrp hardware is pretty rare |
| 11:53.44 | teclo- | there's the debian-powerpc mailing list and this channel |
| 11:54.02 | teclo- | but well, perhaps you're gonna have to wait some time... Some people are at work / busy / sleeping ... |
| 11:54.16 | teclo- | btw I'm off to go shop for some hardware :p |
| 11:54.19 | teclo- | catch ya later |
| 11:54.29 | abi | ybe |
