Hi people ! I've been trying to get debian work on my old
but pretty 1200 ppc+bvision.... everything seemed to be
working, I installed system from network (wow!)... but
... after rebooting, linux says "Kernel panic : rebooting...", the problem seems to be whit the hwclock process. I've tried some kernels and same (or worse) result.
Anybody migth help me? Thanks !!

Try the following added to your bootargs:
init=/bin/bash
When the system comes up, remount root read/write:
mount -n -o remount,rw /
cd to /etc/rcS.d
Rename the S18hwclockfirst.sh and S50hwclock.sh to s18hwclockfirst.sh and s50hwclock.sh (lower-case "s").
mount -n -o remount,ro /
sync
sync
sync
Then reboot the system ctrl-amiga-amiga. Boot Linux as usual, and see if that alleviates the problem. If it does, there is probably a bug in the APUS kernel implementation of the hwclock. I use APUS Linux on an A3000D and hwclock works ok, but on CSPPC rather than BlizzPPC. I do not know precisely how the battery-backed clock on BlizzPPC works so maybe this just hasn't been well tested?
Obviously, do the above at your own risk :-)
