Hi,
(giving it one more try - sorry for the repost)
I was thinking if it would be possible to install SLES9 for PPC on such
a beast:
http://www.pegasosppc.com/
It has an OpenFirmware BIOS and I currently run Debian 3.1 on it. The
CPU is a 1GHz G4 (MPC7447):
processor : 0
cpu : 7447/7457, altivec supported
clock : 999MHz
revision : 1.1 (pvr 8002 0101)
bogomips : 665.60
machine : CHRP Pegasos2
This is the output of lspci:

So I guess I need a bootable kernel for the CHRP architecture, correct?
Does SLES9 happen to boot on that one? Any input would be appreciated -
let me know if you need further info.
Thanks in advance!
Bye,
LenZ
