m68K Linux

[jjans]

I was wondering if anyone here has ever successfully installed either Debian m68K, or NETBSD onto an A500 with accelerator 68030 and FPU. Mine specifically is a GVP A530 with 8MB Ram and 2 MB chip.

Debian installation (Amiboot) freezes when running the installer script, and hangs in a white screen after detecting all hardware during the -debug as per instructions at Debian manual

As for BSD, I partitioned a 1 GB hard disk as per BSD manual . I cannot get my multiboot (pressing left and right mouse buttons during boot) to detect the newly partitioned linux drive. I successfully transfered the miniroot.fs as per the manual using xstreamtodev from AmigaDos. I did have to add the --device=gvpscsi.device arg to xstreamtodev to get it to work.

From what I can tell, I meet the minimum hardware requirements in regards to CPU and FPU. (I recently installed a real MC68030 and 68882.

I am thinking that the problem may be with my GVP SCSI Controller. Any ideas?

Thanks, I'll give it a go...
