Hi
I translated a doc about the install procedure Here it is: http://vakvarju.bluespirit.hu/SuSE_RS6000_7025_F50_eng.html
Regards,
Ok. Then the saga continues with installing SLES8 for iSeries and pSeries. The task was not easy to complete. I tried several methods without any success. But then the simpliest, easyest and most fantastic idea give me the solution. I asked myself whether the SLP 7.3 and SLES8 compatible in a strange way. I downgraded 7.3 to a really minimal install: # SuSE-Linux Configuration YaST Version 1.13.3 -- (c) 1994-2002 SuSE GmbH Description: Info: Ofni: Toinstall: aaa_base aaa_dir aaa_skel ash at base bash

--force --nodeps *.rpm After having finished the procedure, I started Yast2, inserted the CD1 of SLES8 and reinstalled all packages from Yast2. A quick kernel compilation (2.4.27 vanilla), kernel dd to PReP Boot partition and reboot. All went well, and SLES8 works fine.
