Debian Linux on Amiga 4000 PPC APUS

[JohnFante]

Hi volks,

I installed a working Debian system with APUS on an a 4000 with cyberstorm PPC/ 233 Mhz and upgraded it sucessfully to Sarge. :roflmao:

Now my question: the last known Kernel witch supports APUS is 2.6.15 I am actually working with the last kernel 2.4.17. I am unable to compile an 2.6.15 kernel because it allways ends in an Error-message. Is there anyone out who finaly did this? Or is the old bootstrab able to boot an 2.6.15 kernel?

I am an linux-kernel-compiler-newbee I have no idea what is going wrong.

I want to upgrade my system to lenny at least to use the ultimate collection of software. But this is not possible with this old kernel.

thanks in advance from the Black Forest Germany

I am sorry to reviwe an old thread but how do you manage to install APUS linux more precisely?

A step by step would be nice. :-) .... if you still remember ;-)

Thank you :-)

I think I will give NetBSD a go then.

Do you know if there is any x-server for NetBSD for Amiga or is it only console based?

Just one small question in this old thread
 
Is there any need for a smal "how to install", "upgrad" and "cusomize Debian Linux Sarge on the amiga with Cyberstorm / Blizzard PPC ?
 
works well here and fast
 
Pictures are showing Debian Sarge 3.1 with Gnome-Desktop on my Amiga 1200 Blizzard PPC /240 Mhz and BVision 8 MB runing Open-Office :laughing:

Would be very appreciated :-)

Have you ever tried to install it by following this tutorial 4 years ago...?

I translated it mostly for you after all...
...and Rotzloeffel managed to install Linux/APUS by using that guide.

I must admit I can not remember. I have been away from my Amiga for a couple of years (work).

I think I tried but couldn't get it to work. But thank you very much none the less :-) I am sure I will succeed this time evt. with a combination of the two guides ... and a new HD I am waiting for :-)
