Here you could find some hints on running Debian on Teraststion PPC.

[Bearbeiten] General
All Linux 2.6 kernels up to 2.6.23 at all did not run stable on Terastation. So up to that point I would have not recommended to run Debian on a Terastation. Especially just the central Debian utlity 'dpkg' crashed the kernel really often.
Currently in the Sourceforge universal_kernel project there is a 2.6.25 kernel available who seems to run much more stable.
So at the moment there is no reason not to run Debian on Linux.
[Bearbeiten] Kernel versions
[Bearbeiten] Linux 2.6
A 2.6 or newer kernel is required to run Debian Etch or any newer distribution. The universal_kernel 2.6.25 seems to work stable on Terastation. The former problems especially with dpkg are gone.
[Bearbeiten] Linux 2.4
The Linux 2.4 kernels built from the original Buffalo source code are running far more stable on the Terastation. I've never seen crashing such a kernel. If you need just some more features in the kernel it is recommended to use such a Linux 2.4 kernel built from the Buffalo sources.
[Bearbeiten] Starting with Debian Sarge
- download and unpack this archive (size 70 MB). It is created by debootstrap sarge sarge and the source code (165 MB) is available too.
- chroot to the new generated directory
# mount -t devpts -o gid=5,mode=620 none /dev/pts # mount /proc # base-config
