RS/6000 43p 140 does not boot (SuSE 7.1)
by Alexander Achenbach 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hello everybody. Did anyone manage to successfully boot Linux on an RS/6000 43p 140 ? I tried using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/7.1/unsorted/prep/43p_140/zImage.140.chrp and followed the instructions in the German SuSE manual (ie copied the image to an MS-DOS formatted floppy disk, renaming the image to "zimage" there). At the OpenFirmware prompt I typed boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 fake_initrd I also tried using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/zImage.prep and followed the instructions on http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/olh_ppc_43p140.html (ie copied the image as a raw disk image using dd). At the OpenFirmware prompt I typed boot floppy:,\zImage In BOTH cases, the symptoms are identical: The floppy is read (takes half a minute or so). The OpenFirmware cursor moves to the next line or the line after that. The system freezes (or reboots after a long time). (None of the IPL or memory messages ever appear.) So obviously, none of these approaches works for me. What is the difference between the images copied as raw disk images and those copied as files on an MS-DOS disk? Which approach is *supposed* to work? Both are declared as solutions for 140 43p. BTW: The firmware version of the machine I tried this on is TIG97251. Thanks in advance for any hints or solutions.

iMac Open Firmware update 4.1.9 compatibility question
by Phil Gray 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

I have a Dec 1999 g3 400 iMAc. Since I am about to install OSX 10.1 and OS 9.2, Apple indicates updating Firmware to 4.1.9 Anyone know if this will thwart my plans to install SuSe Linux 7.1 ? I read the following on the SuSE site, but it is a little vague: <<Apple Cronology * January 2001 * These machines have a newer firmware, the bootloader is unable to open the textmode * iMacs can be used with 7.1 * Cube, Titanium Powerbook G4 can be used with 7.1 * G4 can be used with 7.1, the Radeon and nVidia cards are unsupported, remove the SCSI card, onboard ethernet may not work * iBook2 works (unconfirmed), enter "boot cd:,\\yaboot" on the firmware prompt. * August 2000 * These machines have a newer firmware, the bootloader is unable to open the textmode * G4, Cube, iMac, iBook, Powerbook can be used with 7.0, kernel 2.2.18 recommended * the available Radeoncards are unsupported >> It seems to imply that the firmware on the newer macs is not compatible. Well if I update my older Mac with the latest Firmware update 4.1.9, it sounds like I may shoot my Linux installation plans in the foot! Anyone tried this? Thanks Phlyz

ide-scsi emulation freezes system
by Michael Engel 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Ide-scsi emulation has worked til kernel-2.4.7-pre3. With any newer kernel (I tried 2.4.10/2.4.12/2.4.16), mounting my ide-cdrom freezes the whole system. This must be ppc specific. My i386 system is working fine with 2.4.16. PPC platform is b&w g3. Has anyone on the list the same problem? Grüßli, Micha

This is XFree86 3.3.6, try /etc/X11/XF86Config. I think the X Server has problems on some chips with 24 bit. Try the command "fbset", you will get a line like that: geometry 640 480 640 480 16 The "16" is the color depth, if you have 24 then do a fbset -a -depth 8 Then run "sax2 -a". There is a line DefaultColorDepth in /etc/X11/XF86Config. change it from 8 to 15 and everything should be fine. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Hello, Personaly I received an old Powerbook G3 at work (year 1999 or after) Installation of SuSE 7.3PPC without problems (or almost). But X-server config with SAX2: problems. Here follows Xfree86.log.o, sorry if it is long: The ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI) is well detected. ... but it ends up with: Fatal server error: no screens found ... and no xserver (see end of script), not even at 600x400 resolution: nothing. Does anybody knows how to solve the problem I'll look at ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/supplementary/X/suse73/4.2.0/ http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_71_xf420.html tomorrow ... when I go to work.

CD-RW

Hi, I¹ve installed SuSE 7.3 on my G4/450. I¹ve changed the original CD with an ³Apple² CD-RW ( Matshita CW 7586). When i installed SuSE i¹ve got an problem to find CD2. I¹ve used /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi like SuSE said and edited the boot.local in the same way. The installation was fine, but now no CD will be shown. With cdrecord scanbus the device was found as a SCSI-device (it is IDE). What is wrong an how can i get my cd running ?? Thx a lot ! Flanders

Regarding the ims tt I am inpressed that you got one. It worked on the installation till yast restarted the machine. apparently yast2 does a poor default(vga ) if it does not find a card it wants. There is a note about this in the suse database. It worked perfectly in 7.1 , but again thanks for working on it. One other thought, do you need beta testers, some of the folks on this list would probably be helpful. > -----Original Message----- > From: Olaf Hering <olh(a)suse.de>@SUN > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:55 > To: AllanL > Cc: Bernd Kulawik; suse-ppc(a)suse.com > Subject: [suse-ppc] Re: RE:X 4.2 > > <<...OLE_Obj...>> > On Wed, Jan 30, AllanL(a)rccb.osis.gov wrote: > > > > > > > Is there any hope that ims twin turbo support will get fixed? > > There is hope.

Your problem is that you need at least the penguin on the console, X is another story. You may try "video=imsttfb" or play with the monitor resolutions in MacOS.

Hi That sounds, like an invalid display configuration. Check the settings of your display (and may be resolution, hsync and vsync). I don't think, that an update to X 4.2.0 would solve the problem...

RE: [suse-ppc] SuSEppc 7.3 on iBook: no X...Solved/triple boot
by Carney, Kevin 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

>Question: does anyone use MacOS9.2 (Classic) + MacOSX + SuSE Linux on a G3? Alain, On my powerbook I use yaboot/ybin to quintuple-boot between MacOS9/MacOSX/Suse7.3/YellowDogLinux2.1/NetBSD. You can get yaboot/ybin at http://www.penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/ (they are distributed together now). It is quick and easy to install following the directions on the site (I installed from sources and it took only about a minute or two.) Suse also uses the yaboot bootloader, but uses lilo to generate a chrp-script ("boot-script," this lets you select between Linux and MacOS with the space bar at startup.) Ybin, however, generates a chrp-script that provides a simple dual/triple boot menu at startup, based on the options in the file /etc/yaboot.conf. Note, however, that booting this way is probably not covered by suse's installation support. Here is a copy of my /etc/yaboot.conf, in case you decide to try this: ---start file--- # ybin options boot=/dev/hda11 macos=/dev/hda9 macosx=/dev/hda10 bsd=/dev/hda15 magicboot=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot delay=10 defaultos=macosx enablecdboot # yaboot options init-message="\nWelcome to Linux\n\n" timeout=50 default=suse # yaboot images image=/boot/vmlinux partition=13 label=suse root=/dev/hda13 image=/boot/vmlinux partition=14 label=yellowdog root=/dev/hda14 ---end file--- !!! also remember to run the program "ybin" every time you edit yaboot.conf. -Kevin Carney <carneykj(a)reading-recovery.org> p.s.-Great job SuSe!! Starting with this latest version, your distro is by far my favorite ppc distro. Thanks for continuing to support this platform.

no video synch with X11
by Yvon Thoraval 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

I've tried to install suse 7.3 on a ppc9500, yast2 ran ok except i was unable to find a video synch for x11. the test under yast2 didn't show a correct image. The screen complain about input level being too high. the screen i have is a formac proniton 17/300. the popup menu under yast2 is jumping from pronition 17/200 to 17/600. i've tried both without success. Even i've forced the number given by the screen : HF : 60.02 KHZ VF : 75.00 HZ (screen is VESA 1024X768) i don't know why vesa is appearing here. Then i was only able to log using tty1 ... when atempting to log using x11 the screen was splashed in two, lower part being black upper part being also split in two and the the login window being drawn more than once. what could i do ? -- Yvon Thoraval

Auto poweron with PPC SuSE
by Trevor Jennings 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Hello, I am running PPC version of SuSE7.1 on a G4 powermac and was wondering if anyone would know of a way to control the bios on the powermac so when the power is interupted, the machine will just restart automatically when power is returned? I have a PDU power cycling unit hooked up to the G4, so when/if the machine crashes, I can cycle the power remotely. Unfortunately at this moment when the power is turned off on the machine, then turned back on, the machine will not startup unless the power button is pressed :( Also, the G4 has been experiencing intermittent lockups during the past week (Machine has been up and running for several months). All it is running that is being used is mysql. My guess is that the lockups are probably related to memory chip problems...any ideas?

SuSE PPC 64 ?
by John Pagonis 27 Jan '02

27 Jan '02

There is a dir in the ftp site implying some sort of 64bit PPC Linux any ideas what is going on? I know some PowerPC CPUs can be switched to 64bit modes is this what is going on here ? btw any chance of installing SuSE PPC from an iso of the web or what ? Really SuSE should release these images otherwise they'll make me believe they lost the plot of OSS In my case i'd like to buy the package anyway as i do with for my other playforms but I'm stuburn now. This is not right any ideas where the iso images are cheers and sorry for the rantings ;-) -- John

Mac64 :-(
by Herouth Maoz 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

Now that I managed to get Suse 7.3 sort-of-running with an older kernel (2.4.2), I can't set up XFree86 4 - it only allows me to set up 3, and I swear I had 4 working perfectly well in Suse 7.0. I don't know if this new problem is because of 7.3, or because of the old kernel. My card is a Mach64, and looking at older list messages I saw that there are some problems with it since 7.1, although I didn't manage to find any solutions. my /proc/fb says: 0 ATY Mach64 1 IMS TT (TVP) (The second card is not in use, since it used to have problems under Linux, and as soon as I get a second ethernet card, I'll need the extra PCI slot, so using that card is the less preferred option). If I use "sax2 -a" the "BoardName" line in the resulting is "3D Rage I/II 215GT". The machine is oldworld, and I pass display parameters for the kernel: video=atyfb:vmode:10,cmode:24 Dmesg indicates, in the PCI section: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 00:11.0 got res[10000000:10000fff] for resource 2 of ATI technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT]. I hope any of this information is relevant, and that someone here can tip me off on how to make X v. 4 work. Herouth -- EMAIL: herouth(a)netvision.net.il HOME PAGE: http://www.herouth.f2s.com/

Unable to install - kernel freezes.
by Herouth Maoz 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

I am in a tangle... I am trying to install 7.3 which finally arrived two days ago. I want to do a fresh installation, but the computer used to run 7.0 without many problems. It is an old world computer - an old PowerBase 180 with a PowerLogix G3 card, which I install using an external CD-R drive, as the internal one seems to have gone in the way of old CD-Roms... Anyway, I boot into MacOS, get into the BootX app, select the ramdisk image, select a kernel - and it goes into linux, but stops the boot process after finding the CD-R drive. It says something like "CD-Rom drive 3.2", and stops working. That's the basic problem. To add a problem to my problems, however, I booted it once in this way, but selected by mistake the old vmlinux from the 7.0 system. This time it booted well and started the installation process - including formatting my root partition (as I said, I wanted a fresh installation). However, when it was time to boot into the new system and continuing with CD-2, it failed. It went into linuxrc, and then the screen went blank, and nothing further happened, not even a disk spin. So, currently I'm in a state where I don't have a system at all (except MacOS, which doesn't help me, I use this server mainly for PHP development). I find it hard to believe that the 2.4 kernel doesn't support a CD-R that was supported by 2.2. Remember, although this machine is rather odd (Mac clone, CPU card, external CD-R), this whole shebang worked in the past.

Server unreachable
by Bartydeux 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hello, My problem My e-mail server at work crashed (it was not in production fortunately). It was under SuSE 7.2 PRO for PC, reiserfs filesystem. I think it was a HD crash. Thus Hd is reformatting. I settled then Postfix on a Apple G3/SuSE7.3PPC. I transferred the config files and gave the G3 the ancient IP address of the crashed server. Everything should be fine, but: 1) if I want to make a Ftp connexion from another host I have the answer "server 192.168.20.93 unreachable". 2) I have the same problem with an iBook with SuSE7.3PPC: impossible to make a Ftp connexion to the iBook. 3) But a Ftp connexion is well possible from an external host (with SuSE 7.3 for PC not PPC) to the iBook and the G3. Thus PC host SuSE 7.3 ====> G3 or iBook with SuSE 7.3PPC: OK G3 or iBook with SuSE 7.3PPC ====> PC with SuSE 7.3 not OK 4) If I want now to fetch my mail from an outside host I have the answer "server 192.168.20.93 unreachable" too. 5) but the mail server 192.168.20.93 well receive the mails (the mailboxes /var/mail/users are well inflating) but impossible to get the mails: "server unreachable" 6) I can ping the server without problem and, as I said, the server receives the mails without problem. 7) I thought it was a problem of Firewall but SuSE Firewall is not working. 8) problem Smtp daemon? 9) The Postfix config is normally the same as my old config. It seems to be a problem specific to SuSE7.3PPC (but not SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 for PC). Has anybody had the same problem. -- Alain Barthélemy bartydeux(a)gminformatique.com http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com

I didn't even think of that since I am using an "Apple_Bootstrap" partition instead of a regular, MacOS mount-able, hfs partition for my bootloader. (I didn't quite follow the SuSe installation partitioning instructions because I already had another linux distro installed and didn't want to re-partition my drive.

These instructions seem like they should work. I'll have to try them out on my desktop G3 machine. Note that the line "houmt /dev/hda9" should read "hmount /dev/hda9." ('9' being the number of the boot partition.) >>`make install` in ybin might overwrite the lilo files in /boot, if that >>is the case, reinstall lilo from cd1 >>rpm -Uvh --force /cdrom/suse/a1/lilo.rpm I don't think 'make install' for ybin (yaboot) does anything in the /boot directory, but I don't know about anywhere else. I do know that it does install some things in /usr/local/lib. -Kevin Carney <carneykj(a)reading-recovery.org>

SuSEppc 7.3 on iBook: no X Server = Sax2 won' work
by Bartydeux 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hello, I already installed SuSE-PPC 7.1 without problems on this iBook (small box, bought beginning of 2001, I don't know how it is called) Today I updated => SuSEPPC 7.3. I was almost sure to have no problem but .... Update went without problem except ghostscript-library Impossible to start KDE (with startx). At general boot, I have the following error message: creating X11 framebuffer configuration ... /usr/X11R6/bin/xsfb : error while loading shared librairies : /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ppclinux/auto/IO/IO.so/ ecannotuopencshared objectefile:tNonsuchbfileeuorsdirectory d I checked: there is no /etc/XF86Config file (it is empty) Sax2 won't work: you have a lot of error chat: can't locate Storable.pm in @INC (@INC contains : /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/modules /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ppc-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ppc/linux ....) at /usr/X11r6/lib/sax/init.pl line17 Thus: no X server and I don't know how to solve the problem: the lib files seem not to have been installed properly, there is no /etc/XF86Config file Update seems to be uncomplete. Any idea about what is wrong? BTW I updated with Yast1 -- Alain Barthélemy bartydeux(a)gminformatique.com http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com

I tried the vmlinux-2.4.16.gz from yesterday. Doesn't work. I really narrowed the problem down to the SCSI device. Finally, I contacted SuSE installation support. They told me to download the vmlinux.elf-pmac from the beta kernels directory. Problem is, if I try to use that with BootX, it freezes the Mac without ever entering into boot mode. I am wondering if anybody could explain the secret of the kernel images directory. Why are some kernels gzipped and others are not, why the non gzipped images will not load on my Mac etc. The lady from SuSE acknowledged, anyway, that there seems to be a kernel bug regarding SCSI and that they are working on it. I don't know how long that will take. So in the meantime any other suggestions may be helpful. I am at my wits end.

crash of X Server
by Damir Buskulic 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi, I installed Suse 7.3 on a powerbook wallstreet. It uses the accelerated ati driver for X. If I leave it unattended for a while, the screensaver comes up and the mouse and keyboard get freezed. I cannot enter again my session. Very frustrating. This happens only after a long while, making me think that there is a bad interaction between screensaver/ati driver/screen sleep. Does anybody have a clue ?
