Do you have a root line in your yaboot.conf, and is it set up
properly?
Here you find parts of my yaboot.conf (from an iBook):
## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you
have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.

## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot=/dev/hda5
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:
partition=2
root=/dev/hda2
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot

help w/ ppc kernel upgrade. debian 3.1 mac mini
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for a walkthrough or howto to upgrade the kernel on my mac mini
debian system.
It currently has a vanilla install of Debian Sarge 3.1 kernel 2.6.8
I need to upgrade the kernel to provide audio hardware support.
I have tried to install a kernel that is prepackaged from ppckernel.org but
I am unable to make it boot properly. The kernel gets scared, and cannot
mount a partition (3,3) I believe I am not configuring yaboot properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated. |
