| 09:34.25 | Spaz | hello |
| 09:34.41 | Spaz | anyone here try to run debian in qemu-system-ppc? |
| 09:34.58 | Spaz | i can't get the install disc to boot |
| 09:35.09 | Spaz | http://arch.kimag.es/share/62634773.png <-- locks up at that point |
| 09:35.15 | Spaz | absolutely no idea how to fix |
| 09:35.25 | Spaz | i'm useless with anything non-x86 or non-sparc |
| 09:37.13 | Spaz | my qemu command line (if it matters): qemu-system-ppc64 -cdrom debian-40r5-powerpc-businesscard.iso -hda debian-ppc.img -boot d -M mac99 |
| 09:37.22 | Spaz | also tried the standard image though |
| 09:37.36 | Spaz | tried various -M combos to no avail |
| 09:38.28 | Bor_Ed_ | wrong system to start with... the iso you're trying to run is 32 bitter |
| 09:38.49 | Spaz | tried qemu-system-ppc |
| 09:39.10 | Spaz | same exact story |
| 09:40.07 | Bor_Ed_ | it should do better |
| 09:40.29 | Spaz | hangs at the same exact place |
| 09:40.44 | Spaz | same exact errors too :p |
| 09:40.46 | Bor_Ed_ | I wonder if the qemu has suitable open firmware clone |
| 09:41.24 | Spaz | PPC Open Hack'Ware BIOS for qemu version 0.4.1 |
| 09:41.35 | Bor_Ed_ | should do then |
| 10:01.37 | Spaz | oh well |

| 22:33.04 | ubuntoil | given that: I use refit, I've already had a gnu/linux on my system (worked great), and...well dunno |
| 22:34.28 | ubuntoil | shall I first sync the MBR ad the GPT and then install Lilo ? |
| 22:34.48 | ubuntoil | please |
| 22:35.57 | ubuntoil | Im about to cry... |
| 22:36.25 | mike_xcr | what's it machine? |
| 22:36.27 | simonrvn | not lilo, use elilo |
| 22:36.38 | simonrvn | elilo is for EFI machines like that |
| 22:36.48 | ubuntoil | my machine is a macbook pro 3,1 |
| 22:36.53 | simonrvn | it's an intel macbook, right? |
| 22:37.01 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: yes |
| 22:37.09 | simonrvn | yeh, use elilo |
| 22:37.20 | mike_xcr | yaboot is only ppc? |
| 22:37.34 | ubuntoil | so I have to go through the whole install process one more time ? |
| 22:37.36 | simonrvn | elilo is really simplisctic... i *think* grub or grub2 support them too |
| 22:37.46 | simonrvn | yes, mike_xcr |
| 22:38.34 | simonrvn | no, install it from say live cd, chrooted. though maybe use the installer as rescue cd, and have those .debs handy on an usb stick or something. |
| 22:38.54 | simonrvn | just go to VT 2 or something |
| 22:39.27 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: what is elilo exactly ? |
| 22:40.20 | simonrvn | lilo for efi ;) |
| 22:40.44 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: is it in the repository ? |
| 22:40.53 | simonrvn | yes |
| 22:42.40 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: is there a tuto for that ?? |
| 22:44.36 | simonrvn | a tutorial to install a .deb? |
| 22:44.46 | ubuntoil | sorry about that but this is so easy with ubuntu...I wonder why it's so hard with debian... |
| 22:44.53 | simonrvn | here's a quickie |
| 22:45.33 | simonrvn | boot cd; run through everything except the actual partitioning and subsequent steps. change to vt 2, and get a shell. |
| 22:45.45 | ubuntoil | vt 2 ? |
| 22:45.56 | simonrvn | alt-F2 |
| 22:46.08 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: oh, yes ctrl alt F2 |
| 22:46.11 | simonrvn | "virtual terminal" |
| 22:46.30 | simonrvn | alt-F2. the ctrl key is only needed if you're changing in from X |
| 22:46.56 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: there I use a synaptic install elilo and it should work ? |
| 22:46.57 | simonrvn | anyway |
| 22:47.05 | simonrvn | i'll finish... |
| 22:48.01 | simonrvn | insert your usb key or floppy or whatever that has the .debs on it, and once you've chrooted to the /target , cp them over and install them with dpkg |
| 22:48.26 | simonrvn | if you don't know what that means, i suggest you start reading: |
| 22:48.33 | simonrvn | !grounding |
| 22:48.34 | ravenbird | Before asking in here or on debian-user, you should read the install guide, or if you have already installed, the debian reference, the apt howto. Ask me about <ig>, <docs>, <manuals>, <reference>, <fundamentals>, <newbiedoc>, <refcard>, <faq>, <unix lessons>, <general cli tutorial>. (e.g. in your irc client, type /msg dpkg reference) |
| 22:48.37 | simonrvn | ^^^ |
| 22:48.47 | simonrvn | esp.: |
| 22:48.56 | simonrvn | !general cli tutorial |
| 22:49.06 | simonrvn | meh, moment |
| 22:49.22 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: last question, once elilo is installed do I have to configure something or I will be prompted about tha t? |
| 22:49.45 | simonrvn | !general cli tutorial |
| 22:49.46 | ravenbird | http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ , http://linuxcommand.org , http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/ or http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/index.html |
| 22:50.06 | simonrvn | if it's anything like lilo, it's configured similarly |
| 22:52.28 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: ok, so, I'll try that and either I come back with debian or with tears |
| 22:55.16 | simonrvn | ubuntoil: at the very least you can re-install, and pull in elilo, grub, and grub2 once you get to that point. skip tasksel (the thing that asks you what type of packages you want), and go directly to aptitude |
| 22:55.38 | simonrvn | though i think grub2 and grub conflict, so choose one. |
| 22:56.00 | simonrvn | ubuntoil: if you give me a few minutes, i can go look what bootloader you need. |
| 22:57.35 | ubuntoil | simonrvn: ok |
| 22:58.07 | simonrvn | ubuntoil: actually, you know what seriously go check out that page, it has a lot more info than i do |
| 22:58.16 | simonrvn | http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook |
| 22:58.51 | simonrvn | !macbook is <reply>Go read, carefully, here: http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook for questions on macbooks |
| 22:58.51 | ravenbird | okay, simonrvn |
