https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374693 Summary: PPC Alpha-3 wont boot / Installer doesn't install boot- loader Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: osl2008@googlemail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Third Party Developer/Partner Installation on PPC based iMAC (PPC740, 350MHz, 512M RAM) goes smoothly but won't boot. Tried a number of times, with slightly different behaviour on occasions: Sometimes, at the proposal stage of installation, under 'booting', YaST incorrectly states that the boot partition is NFS and refuses to install the boot-loader. This is easily missed as the proposal is accepted anyway and installation starts, even though the system will not be able to be booted (except by chain from install CD). Other times, 'booting' states that the boot loader will be installed but when YaST completes stage 1 and goes for re-boot, no boot manager is present. Again, system can be booted by chain from install CD. Once booted, YaST boot manager can be started but immediately segfaults (either in X or curses mode). Tried using an ex-iMac HD (with MAC partition table) and an ex-PC unit with a 'normal' partition table. Also tried using Apple's HD preparation tool (e.g. on an OS-9 install CD) to prep the disc, none of these made any difference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've re-installed, with logging to another machine on teh network - please see attached. Once more, machine restarts directly to OS-X without a boot loader. Holding down 'Alt' gets to Apple boot loader, Linux partition is visible and startable but crashes straight away.

See bug #376310 (run mkzimage on PPC as part of installation, and after kernel upgrades) if you agree that you have same problem you can close this bug like duplicate of 376310.

Now things are rather better: System still boots to OS-X without offering a boot menu, unless ALT is held down to force one. Then two indistinguishable Linux (i.e. penguin marked) icons are offered, along with a third for OS-X (the default) Selecting teh left Linux one leads to a yaboot prompt, with 2 images offered for boot "linux" and "Linux". Both fail to load, the former reporting 'unable to parse @0...' and teh latter 'invalid device' Selecting the rightmost boot-menu icon however successfully boots Linux! Not sure what info I can give to help fix this final (?) problem? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374693 User olh@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374693#c28 --- Comment #28 from Olaf Hering 2008-04-22 07:49:17 MST --- ok , thanks. looks like a kernel problem. devspec files are just pointers for the linux point of view to the openfirmware point of view. Can you attach the full dmesg output and the getsysinfo output? As a workaround, add the 'copy' option to lilo.conf. This will still not set boot-device correctly. After the lilo call, run 'nvsetenv boot-device "hd:6,\\yaboot"'. This is a workaround to get a bootable system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I downloaded, burned and booted the cd, got message 'cant find installation system'. So I dug out the 10.3-PPC dvd and mounted it for FTP share, then told the boot CD to use that image - finally got a rescue login. Next the network DHCP client had been dropped (why?) so had to be manually re-configured - finally I was able to link to a writable NFS share to transfer the data.

The 10.3 kernel works ok, while the 11.0 kernel has a regression in this area. I suggest to install a plain 10.3 (without online updates, please!) on the system, that will make kernel testing a bit easier. Once the 10.3 is installed, can you try to install kernel-vanilla.rpm from ftp.suse.com/pub/people/olh/kernel/bug374693/ and see if the devspec files are created? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
