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.

RE: Unable to boot SMP kernel on RS/6000 7025 F50 (CHRP) WAS: (U nable to boot RS/6000 7025 F50 (CHRP))

To All, I would like to thank you all for the help provided so far and thank you in advance for an any additional help and ideas you provide. At this point I have been able to successfully complete an install and setup the services I wish to run on this system. My installation will be complete once I resolve this final issue. The kernel (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.2/zImage-2.4.2.chrp) which I was able to complete the installation with. Only has support for a single processor. My RS/6000 7025 F50 (CHRP) is a four processor machine. The following information is from my system running the functioning single processor kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------- uscalamia-ss-10:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 604r clock : 332MHz revision : 1.0 bogomips : 332.27 zero pages : total: 0 (0Kb) current: 0 (0Kb) hits: 0/0 (0%) machine : CHRP IBM,7025-F50 uscalamia-ss-10:~ # --------------------------------------------------------------- uscalamia-ss-10:~ # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.2 (root(a)CHRP-PReP.suse.de) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)) #1 Mon Jun 4 11:44:59 GMT 2001 uscalamia-ss-10:~ # -------------------------------------------------------------- uscalamia-ss-10:~ # dmesg 8 sym53c875-3-<10,0>: tagged command queue depth set to 8 sym53c875-3-<11,0>: tagged command queue depth set to 8 sym53c875-3-<12,0>: tagged command queue depth set to 8 sym53c875-3-<13,0>: tagged command queue depth set to 8 sym53c875-4-<8,0>: wide msgin: 1-2-3-1. sym53c875-4-<8,0>: wide: wide=1 chg=0. sym53c875-4-<8,0>: wide msgout: 1-2-3-1. sym53c875-4-<8,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-c-f. sym53c875-4-<8,0>: sync: per=12 scntl3=0x90 scntl4=0x0 ofs=15 fak=0 chg=0. sym53c875-4-<8,*>: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s (50 ns, offset 15) sym53c875-4-<8,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-f.

HFS-mounting stumper

by Steven Bedrick

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? -SB -- "As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life -- so I became a scientist.

Please help Meganewbie with ftp install

by Simon Martin

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 Simon Martin London Uk Where will Microsoft let you go today? 91102 Remember

Hard Drive Not Found - Suse PPC 7.3, Beige G3 PowerMac

by Glen

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

SuSE installed but not found, etc.

by Marc Stergionis

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?? -ms -- Many have Montana envy ... the lucky get to live here!
