X1000 (Void PPC):

# nc –l -p 4444 | dd of=/dev/sdb4

QEMU (Debian PPC64):

# dd if=/dev/sdb2 bs=4M status=progress | netcat 192.168.178.58 4444

X1000 boot:

CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb4"

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-7.2

Enter password for system maintenance: amigaone

nano /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb4 xfs defaults 0 0

For fixing the XFS filesystem:

CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb4 emergency"

xfs_repair /dev/sdb4 -d

Expand the XFS filesystem to the size of the partition.

From Void PPC with the mounted XFS filesystem:

xfs_growfs /dev/sdb4

dhcpcd for getting an ip address.

I have installed the MATE desktop and renamed libglamor.

apt install task-mate-desktop

mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak

I added the MintPPC64 repositories for getting hardware 3D acceleration, SeaLion, Arctic Fox and BrassMonkey.

Download size: 631MB md5sum: 2513074f600998ee08db156ebea33680

Download size after unpacking: 8.0GB

If you download it from xenosoft then it could be that the server compresses transport-side. The web client automatically unpacks transport-gzip.

This is technically correct HTTP behaviour.

The file name remains, but the gzip layer is gone.

Solution: Prevent transport compression:

wget --header="Accept-Encoding: identity" http://www.xenosoft.de/debian-13.0.0-ppc64-ROOT.img.gz
