** Originally posted to openSUSE factory list ** Finally got images for PPC with matching MD5 sums, and now I'm confused about booting. As suggested in various places, openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-NET-ppc.iso won't boot on my G3 iMac. Nor will openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso - this was more of a surprise. I checked the hardware with the 11.0 version, that boots fine but install dies with the expected message about a locked storage subsystem. Bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446182 opened
I saw the extra directory "11.1B5_PPC_Hotfix" but (a) is this relevant to my platform (neither Pegasos nor Efika) and (b) if so, how do I use teh files?
I now understand that these aren't relevant to iMac
Alternatively, is there a way of using the 11.0 boot media, maybe by modbprobe-ing the relevant driver module?
And Andreas Jaeger advises that there is no way to do this :-( -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
