Hi,
I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to
go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that
there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev"
and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0
length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this
could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have
installed a rootkit or some such ?
I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.
Cheers
Damir

Hi,
I download and installed Suse's 2.416 kernel and use it without problems.
when I install my own built kernel however (also 2.4.16 vanilla ) my iMac
immediately crashes and jumps into the boot rom after trying to start that
kernel. Anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
Jaap-Jan
Hello All,
This is a follow-up to Unable to boot SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition
Installation CD on RS/6000 7025 F50
Software: SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition
Hardware: RS/6000 7025 F50 (CHRP)
Graphics Card: GXT120P
Below are the actions which I am performing. Any help or ideas in getting
this system up and running would be very much appreciated. I have purchased
SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition but am open to the use of other
distributions.
1) Boot to the system management services and boot the 2nd cd of SuSE
(bootable for CHRP systems)
2) The following message is displayed to my monitor (tty0)
Welcome to Linux, Kernel 2.4.12

klimit : 0xc03b5dac
msr : 0x00003030
HID0 : 0xf001c086
3) The following are the last few lines displayed to the terminal (ttyS0)
alloc_area_pte: page already exists
clgen: Driver for Cirrus Logic based graphic boards, v1.9.9
Couldn't find PCI device

Machine check in kernel mode
Caused by (from SRR1=81032): Machine check signal
4) This is as far as the kernel will go. If I remove the graphics adapter
the kernel will not stop at this point and will begin to load the YaST but
at this point the screen begins to refresh at an extremely slow rate. It
takes several hours to redraw a full screen which makes YaST completely
unusable.
Thank you,

Hello All,
I am attempting to boot the install disc for SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC
Edition on an RS/6000 7025 F50 with a GXT120P graphics adapter installed.
The following are the actions I am performing:
1) Boot system and Press "F1" to enter the System Management Services
2) Choose multi-boot
3) Choose "Install"
4) Choose my SCSI CD Controller my pressing the space bar (The second CHRP
bootable Installation CD is in the drive at this point)
- A few kernel messages scroll past the screen far to quickly to see and I
am presented with the following. I have left the system running at this
screen for quite some time and it does not seem to do anything.

ps. This mail is a follow-up to: "[suse-ppc] Extremely slow YaST1 screen
refresh / RS/6000 7025 F50 / SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition"
OK, I've got a tricky question.
I have a plain-old-vanilla hfs partition on one of my drives. For the last
year, it's mounted *just fine* under SuSE. I've never been able to give
anybody other than root write permissions to it, but since all I really use
it for is storing mp3's (and the occasional Linux-MacOS file transfer), all
anybody needs is read permissions.
About a week ago, I had a whopper of a system crash, for reasons that I still
haven't figured out. I was forced to do a hard-reboot. Since then, nobody
except for root has been able to access my hfs partition. Anybody else gets a
"permission denied" message. I've tried fiddling with /etc/fstab, I've tried
chgrp and chown and chmod (both on the mount-point-directory and directly on
the /dev/ object), nothing works. I'm practically tearing my beard out in
frustration... it's probably something really obvious that's right in front
of my face... any ideas?

Dear List,
I'm new here, I hope there are some patient people around...
I am a Mac fanatic but really want to champion and learn about Open
Source software. I'm afraid I know very little so far but I'm trying :-)
I want to run Linux on the following box:
A stock Powermac 7500 with two scsi HDs, one 1gb with OS9 installed and
one 2gb which was running OSX but will eventually run Linux, I hope.
It also has the following upgrades:
640MBRam
Formac 400MHZ G3 pci card
ATI 16mb video board from a Blue and White PPC
Firewire card.
I connect to the internet via a cable modem and a hardware router.
I have managed to get the box to boot into the SuSE installer via
BootX, having followed their 'instructions' on how to do an ftp install.
I was doing fine until the installer tried to connect to the ftp
server. At the moment it is stalled with a message saying 'Trying to
connect to ftp server' on the screen.
The installer asked for the ip address of my 'Name server'. Here I
confirmed 192.168.0.1, which was what the installer had already entered
and which is the ip address of my router and what OSX asks for here.
Was this the right thing to enter here?
I also entered <217.9.113.66> as the ip address of the SuSE ftp server.
I got this from 'Traceroute' in 'Network Utility' in OSX.
Was this right?
So... can anyone help me past this 'Trying to connect to ftp server'
message? The ftp server *is* available using an ftp client.
I'm thinking there must be a problem with the installer accessing my
network or something.
I also don't know how to cancel this message to go back and change
settings or whatever...
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Simon

91102 Remember
I've been using SuSE Linux for some time on my PCs with no problems. I've
also successfully installed and run 7.3 on my new world G4s with no problems.
Now, I have an old world beige G3 mac, and I'm having trouble.
This is a standard G3 mac. I have a 30GB Western Digital IDE/ATA hard drive
on the primary/master controller, and a normal Mac CDROM is on the
secondary/master.
MacOS 9.2.1 installs, boots, and operates on this setup with no problems
whatsoever.
I have the drive partitioned per the instructions, with a 256 MB MacOS HFS+
partition, a 128MB A/UX Swap partition, a 10GB A/UX Root partition, and the
rest on a Linux PPC Home partition.
MacOS 9.2.1 is installed on its partition and running with no problems.
I insert the Suse PPC 7.3 CD 1, open the suseboot folder, and launch the BootX
application. I provide root=/dev/fd0 for the parameters (also tried it with
nothing, and with other options outlined below) and the kernel comes up.
Here's the problem: Regardless of what boot options I try, or whether I use
yast1 or yast2, the system cannot detect the hard drive. Yast1's
partitioning tool says "no partitions available." Yast2 aborts with "Hard
drive not found."
I've also tried:
root=/dev/hda
ide0=ide-scsi
ide0=noautotune
(blank/no bootparameters)
Nothing makes any difference.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Any help anyone could provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Glen

Can you try an older kernel sth. before 2.4.7-pre3. I suspect a kernel
related problem in networking on B&W G3 after 2.4.7-pre3, but I'm not
quite sure it's the same in your case.
Can someone else comment on that? (Olav, are you still alive?)

I just did an ftp install of SuSE 7.3 that seemed to go pretty well
-- as an *install process.*
Mac Cube, pretty stock -- 450mhz CPU (original) Rage 128 (original)
1.5G RAM (upgrade), 80G Seagate HD (upgrade). 17" Studio Display
(CRT) -- I believe they are digital?
After SuSE install, could not startx
I got:
/usr/S11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi does not exist
entry deleted from path
(about 10 font directories repeated this way, then...)
fontpath set to
/usr/lib/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/fonts/75dip:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/type1,/uxr/X11R6/fonts/lib/X11/fonts/URN,/usr/X1R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni"
***FBDev: using default framebuffer video mode
fatal server error:
fbev ScreenInit:unable to set screenparams (invalid argument)
(IO: fatal IO error 104 (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
I rebooted and could not find evidence of SuSE to boot either by
holding down option key (New World) nor command-option-OF (only
mac-boot was offered; when I typed linux, I got a big "international
'no' symbol" and the machine froze).
I had to rerun the "install" file in OF to get back to SuSE (of
course a lot of install screens first). I did look in lilo.conf to
confirm that it pointed to my / partition (it did). Almost seems like
yaboot isn't there or setup?
Then, figuring I had a video/driver problem, I followed the advice
at "Setting up unsupported graphics cards with the framebuffer
device" from SuSE's site.
at boot prompt it said to enter:
linux 3 vga=791
so I typed that at the OF prompt and got
linux unknown word.
So I tried
linux 3 vga=791
at the command line (after restarting from OF/install file) and I got
linux command not found.
tried
pico etc/lilo.conf
there was no "vga=normal" so I added the line "vga=791" to lilo.conf.
That caused an error too.
At command line, tried variations of
sax2
and it said I'm set up for XFree 3.3 (I think) but I thought SuSE 7.3
came with XF4.x!
Then I tried
sax (which was supposed to work with XF3.x) and got
unknown command.
This was from a total ftp install -- NewWorld install, plus ftp. Not
a PPC .iso, although I noticed that the site mentioned availability
of .iso for PPC, couldn't find any though.
What's going on here??
