Hello,
I try to install yesterdays (saturday) factory on a Pegasos PPC
computer. I have a full local rsync mirror of factory on a second HDD
(-x86 packages) and I get a "Cannot read package data from installation
media. Media error?". Is this a problem on x86 as well?
Bye,

Hello,
How late is it to post feature requests?
I'm testing openSUSE on a Pegasos PPC machine (
http://www.pegasosppc.com/products.php ). Right now a lot of workarounds
are necessary to get it running (documented at
http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_pegasos and
http://www.opensuse.org/PowerPC_X11_configuration), which is far from
the usual SuSE installation experience.
I already know, that the Amiga partition table is not going to be
supported by YaST2 (bug #121698). MSDOS partitions can be used as a
workaround, but not officially supported by Pegasos. Xorg and mouse
problems are under investigation.
What I would like to see, is to make booting and kernel install more
easy. This would require a few modifications and being able to see, that
the installation is done on a Pegasos machine:
- do not install a boot manager
- if a fresh install, suggest creating a small ext2 partition on /dev/hda1
- do not suggest in YaST2 partitioner to create a CHRP boot partition
(it can't be used)
- run a command like this, after /boot/initrd is ready on the installed
system, to get an OpenFiremware bootable kernel:
mkzimage --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux --initrd /boot/initrd --output
/boot/pegboot
- prepare an e-mail with suggestions how to edit the file 'menu' on
/dev/hda1
I'm currently downloading Debian and FC5 to see, how is it solved in
those distributions. Bye,
Peter
Hello,
I remember, that some simple y2pmsh commands were once posted, that
upgrade everything to latest available packages. I was searching through
hundreds of e-mails in the archives, but still could not find it. Could
someone post it again? Thanks, bye,
Peter
Hello,
When I try to install 'factory', I get a message, something like this:
'Boot CD and installation source mismatch
Your bugreports are probably worthless'
I have an up to date full mirror of factory on my Pegasos PPC at home. I
use the supplied boot.ppc.iso and SL-OSS-factory/inst-source as my
installation source.
Is it normal, or I should file a bugreport? Bye,
Peter
Hello all
Please excuse me if I am not sending this to the correct list.
I installed SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha3 on two computers a HP
PentiumIII ebox at the office and my T40 Thinkpad at home.
On both computer my eth0 connection to Internet was KO during the
installation connection test (first time!) and on the post install login
(first time again!).
If I ran "/etc/initd.d/network restart" after logon I could raise an
Internet connection for a few brief instants until the new network
connection manager (ifplugd?) took over, it killed the connection.

On my Thinkpad, my IP address is attributed dynamically (in the
192.x.x.x range), the new SUSE network connection manager kept
changing it to another completely different IP range.
The bottom line is that without a working Internet connection, the
installation (and the SUSE-10.1-Alpha3 CD's) are useless.
- does anyone have any ideas on how I get a working DHCP connection
Thanks in advance
James

Hi all:
I just update from alpha2 to alpha3.
I see a lot of errors on devices creation.
I must create by hand devices for my mouse,sound and also,change
permission for more of the normal devices like ptys,pcm,mixer.... :-(
Is it a bug or I do something wrong?
regards

Hello,
I wanted to install todays (Sunday) openSUSE factory on my PPC machine (a
Pegasos2), but I ran into troubles with package selection. Rough
translation from Hungarian on the YaST summary screen: "package selection
trouble must be manually resolved". So I choose "packages" to solve the
problem. Half of the world was waiting to be deselected, as there is a
missing dependency: libGL.so.1 (or so, I rebooted to a working openSUSE
10.0 installation...) was missing.
Bye,
Peter
