debian boot failed on IBM RS6000 7025 F80
Hi everybody.
I have an old IBM RS6000 Model 7025 F80 with AIX 4.3.3 installed with 2 primary scsi disks. I want to install linux (any flavor) on it. I downloaded and burned an iso image of debian (http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...pc-netinst.iso), modified the first boot device config, booted from this cd and after some hours I hade a brand new perfect multi cpu 64 bit version of debian with linux 2.6.<something>
. after booting the machine says it has no installed os on it. i tried installing on both disks and same thing: perfect installation, but no boot 
. I also tried different partition schemes. the last partition scheme i used wasone partition per fs and vlm enabled. I also upgraded the bios firmware to the last version from http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/firmware/gjsn and same results: perfect installation and no boot.
any help really appreciated

Hey,
I want to dualboot AIX 4.3.3 und AIX 5.1 on an ibm F80 server.
Preinstalled was 4.3.3 and I installed 5.1 afterwards. After the
installation of 5.1 my server always hangs with a 0555 - Message on the LED-display.
The manual tells me that this means problems with the filesystems.

deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files SYNOPSIS
/etc/dpkg/origins/filename DESCRIPTION
The files in /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with '#'. Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in length, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of the field. REQUIRED FIELDS
Vendor: vendor-name The value of this field determines the vendor name. OPTIONAL FIELDS
Vendor-URL: vendor-url The value of this field determines the vendor URL. Bugs: bug-url The value of this field determines the type and address of the bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a mailto URL or a debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/). Parent: vendor-name The value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that this vendor derives from. EXAMPLE
Vendor: Debian Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/ Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org SEE ALSO
