SuSE 7.3 with new iBook
by Schmitt, Wolfgang (BKA-IT22) 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

Hi, everybody. Since I'm missing some useful software for MacOS 9 or X I decide to use SuSE 7.3 LINUX on my new iBook (bought two months ago) additionally. I just found one comment on SUSE's homepage that everything should work fine, that's all... Does anyone have any experience in installing and using LINUX, on this iBook? Are there any known problems, non-supported hardware (I've got an iBook 600 DVD/CD with 384 MB RAM)? And what about removing MacOS completely from the harddisk and using LINUX instead of it? Thanks a lot. -- Wolfgang

Sound on iBook
by Tue Haste Andersen 29 Nov '01

Hi, I have second generation iBook running SuSE 7.1. All is working very well, apart from sound input. In SuSE Linux 7.3, does the (ALSA) sound driver for this machine support recording? Regards, Tue Haste Andersen - http://www.diku.dk/students/haste/

I had the same problem once, and after many tries I discovered that my SMS was an old version. You should ask IBM for the lastest version of SMS. Which RS/6K do you have?

I have booted into the Maintenance menu using the CD and changed the bootlist from the default (floppy, CD, net card), to floppy, HD, CD and rebooted. This appears to have no effect. According to IBM, I should boot from the first AIX disk and invoke the bootlist command. I don't have AIX, I have SuSE 7.1 PPC, which makes me null and void in the eyes of IBM. Is there an equivalent SuSE command or process? Thanks.

PB G4 Kernel crashing into OF at startup
by Felix Lustenberger 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Dear all, I tried to compile the BenH kernel tree since 2.4.6 (last kernel I sucessfully installed) on my PB G4 with a SuSE PPC 7.1 installation. It actually did compile fine but always crashes into OpenFirmware after having installed the kernel into /boot/ directory and also having adapted the /etc/yaboot.conf script (in conjunction with ybin install utility). Error message on white screen: ... ok copying OF device tree... DEFAULT CATCH!, code=300 at %SRR0: 014106ac %SRR1: 00003030 ok 0 > After that I am not able to boot further into any OS, I have to restart the maschine manually. Do you have an idea what is going wrong? Is there any special trick for the kernel configuration? I have to note that I sucessfully installed Olaf's 2.4.12 Kernel (the one with '-elf' in the filename).
