I re-burn the 8.2 install CD. Still didn't boot. After some google research,
i did a full-reset of openfimware. The 8.2 install CD did boot but i can't
do any other installation that "install-text".

All the video installation finish by a black with blue vertical line screen
and the
Install-net-* (text, text-2.2...) gives me this error:
"enet:0:2,\\vmlinux: Unknown or corrupt filesystem"
or
"enet:0:2,\\vmlinux-2.2: Unknown or corrupt filesystem"

Guess I'll try once again to do a minimal 8.2 install then urpmi everything
from cooker.
Didn't work a month ago but now maybe...

Been there, tried that. Perl (version) and free space problems I think. I
gived up and I deleted everything since then and I could not afford to rsync
2Gig again (bandwidth quota) just to retry.

Any simple and minimal image available (like the network.img for i586) for
ppc just to start a ftp installation ?
