Hi,

I would like to install Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat on my Pegasos 2, but it's more difficult as expected.
I burned the ubuntu-10.10-alternate-powerpc.iso on a cd to try to boot a standard install from it, but it fails

1. boot cd0 install/pegasos
I get a menu with 1. Install / 2. Expert / 3. Return to OF, but it is obsolete as there is no more 'install/powerpc/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd' file in the iso file.

2. boot cd0 install/powerpc/vmlinux initrd=install/powerpc/initrd.gz
The install image loading starts, but I finally get a trashed graphical display with orange/red/brown squares (perharps the installer main menu). Crtl+Alt+Fn sequences doesn't allow to switch to another console display.
I've also tried to add boot video option :
video=radeonfb:1280x1024@60 or video=radeonfb:1024x768@60, but any case I get the same trashed display.

3. make a specific bootable install kernel :?:
I've built the boot image, using kernel 2.6.35.4 compiled on my Pegasos, but I don't know how to make a boot image which would be able to automatically run the installer from the cdrom.

Does anybody know how to configure a kernel or an image to make a bootable install image using the install cd ?

Thanks for any help.

I succeed to make a bootable install image from Ubuntu 10.10 Powerpc Alternate install cd, just using command described in this post :

Now, I can start installation from cd, select all requested options and run the install on my partition. But the install process fails (i.e. stops) after 83%, just at the step installing 'linux-powerpc_2.6.35.22.16_powerpc.deb':
In another console (alt+F2), I can run 'df' command without any problem. In drawer /target/boot, there is a 'initrd.img-2.6.35-22-powerpc.new' file but with 0 as size.
