[opensuse-factory] Incomplete suseboot directory in 10.3?
Hello, after three years I was able to reanimate my old PowerBook. I would like to install openSUSE 10.3 on it, but the suseboot directory contains no initrd32 and no linux32.gz, like the 10.2 suseboot directory. Any idea where to find this files? -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ok, found the Answer on http://en.opensuse.org/Booting_on_PowerMac, but would be nice, to have this files also on the ftp-server. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

"Hint: on OpenSUSE 10.3 the files (linux32.gz, initrd32) can be located on CD2 or CD3." Hm, but where to find CD2 or CD3? -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

And where in this directory I can find linux32.gz or initrd32? Take a look into the 10.2 directory and you will see the difference. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I found both in factory oss repository in large mini iso that was all in one. Now it is split into ppc and x86 part. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-ppc-m... Here is yaboot.txt in above mini iso: Welcome to openSuSE 10.3 (PPC)! Type "install" to start the YaST installer on this CD/DVD Type "slp" to start the YaST install via network Type "rescue" to start the rescue system on this CD/DVD It seems that all you need is this mini iso. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No chance! It's a "Old World" Powerbook, yaboot can't be used for it. I have to use BootX and can't start from the CD. And BootX needs See: http://en.opensuse.org/Booting_on_PowerMac_(OldWorld) At the moment I've installed Debian, but I would like to use the PowerBook to build my Packman-Packages also for PPC, so I would need to have a SUSE running. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What is the reason not to use: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/ppc install-initrd-1.0-228.ppc.rpm kernel-default-2.6.22.5-31.ppc.rpm It seems from the openSUSE article that it doesn't matter which initrd and kernel are used. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hm, maybe this could work, I'll give it a try. But it has to wait a little bit. I've updated my Maincomputer (PentiumM Notebook) to 10.3 today, just ended a view minutes ago (this is the first e-mail). After total freez after reboot (options in xorg.conf which seems not to work in 10.3, I have to find out, which one, first deaktivated all) I have to find out what else is going wrong (I've allready seen, sound only in yast, all other applications can't find a soundcard, no funktions in kpowersave, some of my scripts don't work anymore, because of other changes...) and fix it. I see, I have to invest more time in betatesting next time and not only in VirtualBox. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The VirtualBox is kind of ideal world. All hardware is the same. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, doesn't work, too. I can boot using BootX and I get a menu to select installation properties, but there is no network and no access to the cd drive and I can't load any modules. So it's not easy to install... -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Than you have 2 ways left. Use 10.2 to install openSUSE and then you can upgrade, or install as dual boot, or create your own initrd that will include network and CD drivers. Maybe you can get some ideas using: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal/OpenSUSE_Installation -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
