CRUX PPC

Hi All,
I have couple of problems installing Crux 2.5 on sam440ep:

1. I've followed the steps for kernel compiling from the Handbook, however there is no cuImage.sam440ep file. Since there is the boot kernel on CD anyway I copied this one to /boot together with System.map and modyfied menu.lst. However I would like to know what I'm doing wrong during kernel compilation...

2. I can not install parthenope. After issuing parthenope-install /usr/share/parthenope/Parthenope
command I recive following message: cannot find RDB!

Any ideas and suggestions will be more than welcome.
Best Regards
Alex

Have you installed mkimage from opt?



It's because you haven't used the amiga style label for partition. When you're using a new harddisk (or one used with other system than aos4.x) you have to set the disk to use amiga style partition label, to do this you have to issue the command "mklabel amiga" in the parted prompt (after started parted of course). Pay your attention, all partition will be lost after changing the partition label style.

Hi,
Thank you for all the tips. I've selected whole opt during install so unless there is additional requirement of soma manual actions to get it I should have it on my system.

As for bootloader now when you pointed out amiga type label partitions it's obvious! Thank you I'll change it - this is clean, new system so I don't have to worry about loosing data after changes to partitions.

Best Regards

Hi, I've created amiga label and added ext2 partition. This indeed allowed me to install Parthenope but I still have one issue: after booting Parthenope is not able to find menu.lst. I've installed it in /boot and / and modified according to manual. What I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
