I've been using SuSE Linux for some time on my PCs with no problems. I've also successfully installed and run 7.3 on my new world G4s with no problems. Now, I have an old world beige G3 mac, and I'm having trouble. This is a standard G3 mac. I have a 30GB Western Digital IDE/ATA hard drive on the primary/master controller, and a normal Mac CDROM is on the secondary/master. MacOS 9.2.1 installs, boots, and operates on this setup with no problems whatsoever. I have the drive partitioned per the instructions, with a 256 MB MacOS HFS+ partition, a 128MB A/UX Swap partition, a 10GB A/UX Root partition, and the rest on a Linux PPC Home partition. MacOS 9.2.1 is installed on its partition and running with no problems. I insert the Suse PPC 7.3 CD 1, open the suseboot folder, and launch the BootX application. I provide root=/dev/fd0 for the parameters (also tried it with nothing, and with other options outlined below) and the kernel comes up. Here's the problem: Regardless of what boot options I try, or whether I use yast1 or yast2, the system cannot detect the hard drive. Yast1's partitioning tool says "no partitions available." Yast2 aborts with "Hard drive not found." I've also tried: root=/dev/hda ide0=ide-scsi ide0=noautotune (blank/no bootparameters) Nothing makes any difference. Has anyone encountered anything like this? Any help anyone could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks! Glen
