"badly broken" referred to 32bit PPC support in general, not to Pegasos. As far as I could understand from various bugzilla remarks, only 64bit IBM servers are officially supported by SuSE, the rest is just a hobby project for Olaf & Co. But this part was fixed for 11.0.
I managed to get around that by just tabooing any 64bit packages before installing with 10.3. After that, it was completely stable on all my 32bit Powermacs. However, after I started beta testing v11.0, I dumpled 10.3 completely. The packager in 11.0 is amazingly fast. As for PPC, it is an "official" port, and lists all the PPC procs from the 601 forward. I've bugged for a while to see if they were going to drop support for older PPC chips, but so far they haven't. I'm running v11.0 on my son's Wallstreet G3/266. It's slow, but stable. Otherthan the annoying backlight issue(which I THINK is because I need to replace the PRAM battery. If that doesn't work, then it's just a bug in the machine..... *sigh*), it runs just fine. Been using it as a SaMBa server for the last few weeks with no problems. Even has built-in UPS ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
