Hi there.
I am having difficultly installing the 4 CD distribution of SuSE
Linux 6.4 on my Umax C600 Mac clone, essentially a PowerPC 603e.
The installation appears to proceed normally until YaST1 terminates
and (presumably) control is handed over to the newly installed kernel,
at which point I get
.
.
Starting Name Service Cache Daemon.....
FAILED!
.
.
I'm not sure what this means but I can still log in.
The real problem arises when I restart or boot up from the
internal ATA hard drive, (onto which Linux has just been installed.
I have MacOS 9 on a SCSI drive).
I get as far as
.
.
Loading Menstat Module...
.
.
at which point it says
.
.
It seems that the last installation was not
complete.
To be sure it will be started again...
.
.
and YaST1 fires up once more. If I then exit YaST1 as
quickly as possible the boot up process continues, and this time I
get
.
.
Starting Name Service Cache Daemon.....
DONE
.
.
and everything's fine.
Any suggestions as to what to do to avoid YaST1 each time I boot
up would be much appreciated.
