Michal, we don't have the bandwidth to support specifics of this ancient hardware.
I've assigned it to the account for community bugs - if you or anyone can have a look and provide patches, we will consider it, but otherwise we cannot support G5 in the near future.
Are there any community news on this? I tried the procedure documented over here: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Install_openSUSE_on_an_Apple_PPC_computer But it seems YaST/parted is not even able to read a Apple Partition Map anymore. That's quite a pity, because as we do have ppc64 builds from (open)SUSE, it would be great to test these on that hardware as well. This would be quite a great feature for the community, because this Apple hardware is very cheap nowadays, compared to IBM Power series. If anybody does have a hint on how to restore the ability of Yast/parted to read a Apple Partition Map, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
