Problem installing

Hello, I'm trying to install SuSE 6.4 for PowerPC on a PowerMacintosh 9600. I destinated a 2 Gb internal HD for that. Everytime that I try to install using the 'graphical' installer the system freezes at 82% of 'checking the system' If I try to use the non-graphical installer the system reboot randomly during the proccess or freezes during formating and mounting the partitions... Anybody had experienced something like this? I'm very frustrated because I can not install this... Thanks! Tomas Garcia Ferrari Bigital http://bigital.com

PowerBook G3500 Prismo and Sound
by Bruce 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

Hi there, I have been installing SuSE6.4 (side issue - is 7.0 pro coming out in PPC form at the same time!!!) on an Apple PowerBook G3 500 and its up and running with the exception of the sound system. Yes I have read all the various FAQ's and links BUT whenever I run sndvolmix, I get a segmentation fault. Looking at the man pages, it implies that /dev/mixer /dev/dsp and /dev/audio should all be on major number 140 whereas in reality they are on major number 14. These are not the only major number differences. Several others differ including pmu. (Actually I think that may be a minor number 153 instead of 154 in that case!) If I go ahead and rename /dev/mixer(-,0,1,2,3) to say /dev/mmixer... and the others the same, then attempt to create mknod <devicename> c M m for the devices as specified in the man pages, will this make any difference whatsoever??!! Regards, Bruce.
