Hi, there are some kernel updates on the ftp server. ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.2/ Everything has reiserfs enabled. There is a boot CD1 for 7.1-ppc: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/boot/cd1_7.1_reiser_boot.iso It is bootable on PReP and newworld, but some IBM machines can not open the VGA screen. It works here on MTX+ with VGA screen. You need a newer lilo/yaboot to load the kernel from a reiser boot partition: ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/powerpc/lilo/lilo-0.0.7-19.ppc.rpm To create a root partion: Boot the CD, it will drop you in yast1, reformat everything as explained in the manual (f3 -> reiser). Now you have a reiser root partition. Quit yast1 (abort installation). go back to linuxrc, eject the CD and put the original CD in. Reinstall everything. Please dont reformat with ext2 and dont use yast2. yast2 will create a wrong fstab entry (type is ext2 instead of reiserfs) and the boot will fail. You can tweak the fstab with vi, but ... There is also bleeding edge stuff: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/BETA/kernel/ This is 2.4.5 with poor IDE performance and all the fun... aic7xxx may work a bit better, VM is not ready for prime time etc... Note that these rpms will obsolete older rpms (k_pmac,k_prep etc.) The file to boot is /boot/vmlinux and not vmlinux-2.4. It may not work on 601 machines and SMP on dual G4s appears to be broken, I dont have one. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
