Hi, can anybody help me to install opensuse on G4 powerbook? It works for version 11.1, but with 12.2 or 12.3 the kernel found no harddisc controller. I want use the Powerbook as Terminal.

Due to peculiarities in the Apple hardware, the disk controller for G3 and G4 (at least) cannot be detected by the kernel, thus it must either be built into the kernel, be placed in the MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT, or manually loaded. You will need to do the latter. The module name is pata_macio. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
