Dual boot OS4.1 & Linux on Sam440
Home away from home
Home away from home


See User information
just got my Sam & will be putting together my system in the next week or so
..was reading Elwood's installation guide & am wondering if Hyperion has a SLB that allows Sam440 to boot up Linux?
or is Parthenope still the way to go?

Parthenope is the only option as far as I know.

There is an older SLB that will boot both, but I don't have it.

ok just to be sure...the first cd is the 'Linux debian Lenny install CD-1" iso & then use the 2 to 8 'debian 502-1-power pc' ones right ?

Note that something has changed in the Debian mirrors a few months ago. This makes the installation freeze as you experienced when it checks for the mirrors.

After many tests by me and Faranheit, we reached this conclusion.

Unfortunately, there's no good solution to this.
We managed to get around it installing with the ethernet cable unplugged (or the network not configured).
It makes the install process skip reading the mirrors.

Then when the system is installed, you can add mirrors by hand in your sources.list and update your system.

update:

ok finally got Debian installed using the 8 install CD's but had to unplug the ethernet cable or the system hangs (thanks Elwood & Tired).

problem now is that I forgot to create the config file after it finished loading and just ejected the CD and rebooted..now Sam cannot boot into Debian using Parthenope

When you enter the new terminal via alt-f2, you will most likely need to mount the hard drive otherwise all you will be looking at is the file system on the CD.

mkdir -p /tmp/harddrive
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/harddrive
(Assuming the device is SATA and it is partition 2 on the drive)

vi the menu.lst file on /mnt/harddrive to your needs.

I was looking at using CruxPPC as a dual boot distro with AmigaOS4.1 and have not really had a chance to look into Debian so I am making a few assumption on what Debian does.

Verify that the partition where you have installed boot files for Linux has the bootable flag and that it is in EXT2 filesystem, not EXT3 or any other filesystem !

Boot your OS4 CD and install Parthenope on the HD with MediaToolbox as you would do with SLB.

forgot to mention I did try booting from OS4.1 CD but it hangs before the setup screen comes on ..workbench screen is blank and mouse works but other than that nothing else??? I thought maybe it had something to do with Parthenope not being installed...
