Cool, I'm following this thread.
Could anyone upload what's needed (the amiga linux hdf or whatever, compressed) somewhere? |

Installation doesn't work properly yet. You need an ISO of Debian for m68k (e.g. Sarge or Woody) and the latest WinUAE beta. Mount the ISO's contents as dh0 in UAE and boot them from WB shell. You can find the links and commands in this thread.

Yeah cool. I haven't messed with Amiga stuff (WinUAE) in a year, a lot has changed . Did manage to get the same error (Usage: umount ...), dunno why. |

Wild guess: if you get a "Usage:..." message it usually means that the umount parameters used in a script differ from those expected on the umount version used on the Debian image...
OR: for some reason the string of parameters doesn't get transmitted at all... |

Wow - sheer awesomeness!
Dammit Toni - now I'll have to look at 68k Linux, too instead of focusing on indexing my amiga stuff |

OK - I've been looking into Debian a bit. I've tried images for Sarge, Etch and Sid. In all three cases I had to unpack kernel and initrd upfront.
The Sarge image is based on the 2.4 kernel. Here at least the init process is kicked off. You can drop to a shell by adding "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel command line (in the amiboot call). In the shell I can't type anything, however. The output about the umount that other users have seen occurs when the init process is trying to unmount the /proc filesystem. I've placed a call to /bin/sh in the init script right before that line to take a look around but as soon as I try to type anything in this shell I get a segfault. The two other 2.6 based images don't even get to the point where the kernel is handing over control to the init process. The last message is that the RTC cannot be found but I don't think that this is the problem, since the RTC should be irrelevant here. |

Sarge (3.1) was the last official Debian release for m86k. Etch (4.0) has to be considered experimental. I wouldn't use that for testing in the moment. |

winuae.zip updated again. More non-compatible MMU instructions updated (for example MOVEM to memory didn't restart correctly if any write caused access violation)
Now I only get repeating "bogl: don't know screen type 1".. (it is possible I also broke something else..) |

EDIT: The illegal instruction seems to happen when executing the chroot command at the end of the init script. Last edited by KillaByte; 05 September 2009 at 11:09. |

It is only (possibly) useful if you are programmer or want to play with Linux (or other Unix based stuff). Just ignore it. Completely. |

This "bogl" thing kept me puzzled! (Probably because I come from SUSE/Red Hat world and dunno jack shiz about Debian microcosm.) Again, Google came to my rescue: it's the acronym for "Ben's Own Graphics Library":

Toni, what install image are you using exactly? The bogl issue on Amiga systems is well documented for Woody and Sarge but the kernel parameters needed to avoid it change from release to release.
Nope - that means that people who want to try Linux within WinUAE will be happier. If you don't intend to run Linux or NetBSD on your emulated Amiga you don't have to bother. |

Ah OK - will have to look into that then. I'm using the contents of this image of Sarge.
By the way - how hard do you think would it be to include support for ISO images as virtual CD drive? EDIT: For woody the workaround for the bogl issue seems to be adding "nolangchooser" to the kernel command line. See here Last edited by KillaByte; 05 September 2009 at 18:06. |
