[opensuse-ppc] Beta-5 PPC Boot media
by Richard (MQ) 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

** Originally posted to openSUSE factory list ** Finally got images for PPC with matching MD5 sums, and now I'm confused about booting. As suggested in various places, openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-NET-ppc.iso won't boot on my G3 iMac. Nor will openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso - this was more of a surprise. I checked the hardware with the 11.0 version, that boots fine but install dies with the expected message about a locked storage subsystem. Bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446182 opened > I saw the extra directory "11.1B5_PPC_Hotfix" but (a) is this relevant > to my platform (neither Pegasos nor Efika) and (b) if so, how do I use > teh files? I now understand that these aren't relevant to iMac > Alternatively, is there a way of using the 11.0 boot media, maybe by > modbprobe-ing the relevant driver module? And Andreas Jaeger advises that there is no way to do this :-( -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] SuSE 7.3/ppc install fail?
by Larry Stotler 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Yes, I know it's old, but I'm trying to install SuSE 7.3/PPC on my old Wallstreet powerbook, and everytime I try, YaST fails. I looked and only thing I found was a message that the YaST in the install was broken and a newer version was needed. I downloaded the whole repository and can't get the installer to start. I get the following message: yast2 return code is 32512 (errno = 2) If anyone can remember, please let me know.

[opensuse-ppc] Gnash?
by Larry Stotler 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Has anyone else installed gnash? I installed it on my 11.0 install on my PowerMac G3/400Mhz system. Youtube videos don't do anything, just a blank area with gnash present(when you right click, the dialog comes up). When I tried to play an animated flash on ubergeek..tv, it played but the sound was messed up(the video was surprisingly smooth). I know my onboard sound works because I can hear the song when KDE starts. I have a Radeon 7000/32MB installed with 32MB RAM. The system has 1GB PC100 RAM.
