Hi there, Thank you very much for your work for a PowerPC version of openSUSE. I've got a problem. The new network install CD (12.3) didn't boot because it can't load init. Issue: init Not tainted <Kernel>. The 11.1 network CD boots fine on my AmigaOne X1000. The AmigaOne X1000 is a PowerPC-based personal computer intended as a high-end platform for AmigaOS 4.1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOne_X1000). I have done the following steps to boot openSUSE 12.3 network CD: CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:suseboot/initrd64 CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.10.13-1 The 11.1 CD boots fine but the 12.2 and 12.3 have the init error (init Not tainted to 3.10.13X1000). Do you have an idea for me, please? By the way, I've released openSUSE 11.1-1 for the AmigaOne X1000.

I think cache line size on PA6T is 64 bytes which means you might be running into the same problem as me for e5500. Glibc is configured with optimizations against POWER4 which hardcodes cache line size for memset(0) to 128 bytes, effectively breaking it on these platforms. Does 32 bit user space work for you?

Hi Alex, You're right. :-) It boots with the 32-bit version of the network CD.

Hi there, I've tried to install openSUSE 12.3 on my AmigaOne X1000. Unfortunately the installation of a lot of 64-bit packages failed. Issue: scriptlet failed, signal 11. The following steps I have done: 1. Downloaded the network ISO 32-bit: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/distribution/12.3/iso/openSUSE-12.3-N... 2. Burned it on a CD 3. Booted my X1000 into the CFE ('F' to enter firmware) 4. Loaded the init ramdisk (32-bit and later 64-bit): "CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:suseboot/initrd32" and later "CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:suseboot/initrd64" 5. Booted the kernel: CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.10.13-1 6. It appeared:

64-bit packages won't work because the PA6T is not compatible (enough) to POWER4 which is the minimum requirement for 64-bit openSUSE 12.3 to work. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Alex, Thank you for your answer. Can I install a 32-bit openSUSE 12.3 system? Or is openSUSE 12.2 compatible with my PA6T? Thanks in advance for your help. :) Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you for your answer. Can I install a 32-bit openSUSE 12.3 system? Or is openSUSE 12.2 compatible with my PA6T?

Sure! As long as you don't use 64-bit binaries, a 32-bit 12.3 system should work just fine on PA6T. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Sure :). You could also create a tar based kiwi configuration and have obs build it, like we do for arm. Then you can use that as rootfs for your system. Alex Am 02.10.2013 um 21:21 schrieb Christian Zigotzky :
