| Post subject: | YDL installation won't start!! |
Hello, I downloaded the YDL distribution for PegasosII from Terrasoftsolutions website, burnt the ISO on a CD-ROm and typed the following command (as indicated p. 4 of the YDL installation guide for PegasosII): boot /pci/ide/cdrom@0,1 ydl-install /dev/ram0 ramdisk=22000 rw The computer then loads from the CD-ROM and I have the following output: ISO-9660 filesystem: System-ID:"LINUX" Volume-ID="CDROM" Root dir:" " flags=0x2 extent=0x17 size=0x800 chrpboot starting: loaded at 0x00800000 initial ramdisk moving 0x3a19000 <- 0x009aa000 (5e67d5 bytes) gunzipping (0x00010000 <- 0x00806c4c:0x009a9cc9)...done 3663910 bytes 49024 bytes of heap consumed, max in use 40952 start address = 0x10000 Then it just hangs up: does not respond to keyboard inputs and nothing else happens. Here is my configuration details: PegasosII + G4 + 512 Mbytes RAM + Voodoo3 Does anyone has a hint? Thanks, Taerwin |

I had the same problem on my peg II. Then I changed my voodoo3 graphic board with a radeon 7000 and everything went the right way. Same with pegxlin. Maybe the installer switches by default to "radeon" config? Maybe that when installation hangs it is actually just waiting for input, but you can't see the screen? Else a voodoo3 bug... Try to add video=tdfx640x480@8 (something like that...) and see what it happens. Mario |

Well, i suppose Terrasoft is supposed to do the support for this one, but i can say that your problem is one of the following : 1) your kernel doesn't include the pegasos patches 2) your kernel doesn't contain the chrp bootloader (it is a vmlinux, and not a zImage.chrp) 3) your kernel doesn't contain an fbdev driver for your graphic card. In any case, you can try to get more info on what is going on on the serial port. Plug in a serial null modem cable, and launch a console on the other end, and boot the kernel with the : Code:
console=ttyS1,115200n8
kernel option appended to the kernel boot line.Friendly, Sven Luther |

Indeed, it is probable that terrasoft has not included voodoo fbdev support in their kernels.Then I changed my voodoo3 graphic board with a radeon 7000 and everything went the right way.

Thanks for your hints! I'll try to force the video to tdfx and also sees what debug info is output through the serial port. Yet it seems I am to invest in a radeon card...Luckily 3D drivers of MorphOS next release should also support RADEON boards. |
