norton check on HFS volumes
by Joss Winn 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

I have noticed that when I boot up my Mac and run Norton, it shows a lot of 'Major Errors' with my HFS volume that I use to share files with Linux. I am wondering if these really are 'major errors' in Linux, or if it is just a Norton quirk. Even with the errors, I seem to be able to use the HFS volumes with no problems in Linux. thanks Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org

Hallo, ich bin gerade erst stolzer Besitzer eines Powerbook G4 geworden ;-) und moechte darauf SusePPC 7.1 installieren. Soweit noch kein Problem. Ich moechte ausserdem noch MacOS 9.1 UND OS X installieren. Wie soll die Festplatte hierfuer partitionieren? Und in welcher Reihenfolge installiert man die drei am besten? Ist es eigetlich moeglich/sinnvoll sich den Homebereich unter OS X und Linux zu teilen?

DRI support in xfree4.1 on blue&white g3(r128)
by Sebastian Kobs 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

Hi all, I've installed the new xfree4.1 on a b/w g3, everything works fine, but when you start any app which requires openGL, it will hang imediately. When I disable DRI, everything works fine, also DRI works in 16bit mode, which I unfortunately can't use because of colormap problems(weird colors). I'm doing this on a Suse6.4 System with the BETA 2.4.6 kernel from ftp.suse.com. BTW: on a G4(identical setup) everything works as expected. My questions are: - is there a way to enable DRI in 24/32 bpp mode - or otherwise, is there a way to fix that 16bpp problem. I would be thankful for any hints or suggestions you may have. regards, Sebastian

Does anyone have any idea if the ppc radeon support will ever come to be? What is a decent 3d card on the mac side that is supported enough to give me accelerated X on the linux side? Thanks, wavegirl

Net install freezes
by doowirb7＠home.com 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

I'm trying to do a network install (via FTP) from my PC to my StarMax 4000 home server. It'll load the second stage ram disk, but after that it takes me right into text setup- there's no option for a graphical one. When I finally get to installation, it will ALWAYS freeze dead cold when it gets to installing package 16 (which is cron with the default package selections, but even if I take it out it still freezes). I've even tried installations from ftp.suse.com and several other mirrors with the ppc rpms, but it still keeps doing it! Thanks for any help ~gravy

Problem rebooting RS/6K b50 SUSE 7.1
by Alberto magnus 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Good afternoon Linux experts, I have an apparently dumb problem rebooting my IBM RS/6k b50 running SUSE 7.1 . Doing this without keyboard, mouse and display (using a telnet terminal) the machine come to 0c5 (LCD display) and stops waiting for an 'enter' for ever. It seems a yaboot problem, in fact when the yaboot timeout occurs yaboot issues an error message and asks " press enter to continue".... (I connected a console to the box to be able to read the message obviously) This is a big problem if someone want to put the box into an unattended web farm.... SUSE 7.0 worked fine... Is there someone able to fix this bug or to find a workaround? Thanks in advance and best Regards Alberto Milano ITALY

2.4.2 kernel on PowerBook 3400c?
by isaac＠unstoppable.com 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Hi, I'm having trouble getting 2.4.2 to work on my 3400c. I was able to get it running beautifully on my 7200 desktop, and followed the same procedure on the 3400. No luck. It only boots to the point of the first line written to the screen: "Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.4.2" or something like that. Then it freezes and I have to do a hard reboot and go back to 2.2.16. Oh, these are both running the basic SuSE 7.0 installation. Anybody know whassup? Thanks for any help. --Isaac
