I'm trying to install Suse-10 on B50 (PPC).

I have created the following partition map using pdisk

 

Apple_partition_map         63 @ 1

Apple_Bootstrap           2000 @ 64  (for eventual bootloader)

Linux  swap                   502M

Linux  root                    8G

 

I have adjusted the partition section in YaST per instructions

 

/dev/sda1         0.0 MB      unknown

/dev/sda2         .9 MB        PPC Prep Boot

/dev/sda3         502MB   F Linux swap               swap

/dev/sda4         7.9GB    F Linux native (Reiser)  /

 

But it won't accept my Installation Settings because of 'an error'

 

My bootloader section has a blank "Location", but I don't see why.

 

Under Boot Loader Settings: Kernel Section

 

I have the following:

 

Section Name: Linux

Kernel: /boot/vmlinux

Initial RAM Disk: /boot/initrd

Root Device: /dev/sda4  (/ from above)

VGA Mode (1280x1024x16)

Other Kernel Parameters: quiet sysrq=1

 

Can anyone suggest what must be done differently?

 

Thanks.
