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.

Hello! I work a lot with Atari-files, like img, Signum and Textfiles. How can I change them to a Linux-compatible format and vice versa? I tried pnm for img, but it didn't do, what I wanted. Marianne

MacOSX?
by abarthel 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hello, Sorry a little off-topic. I have to install MacOSX on all stations where I work. The standard installation is easy and you can have all the MS softs without problem (beuargh!) and somme packages like Apache are easy to install if you have the installation package (.pkg or something like that) Problem: I did not succeeded till now to install a soft from the source code (tarball, etc ...). I tried Fink and finally it seems to work. Do you know a good mailing-list where I can find somme useful help for MacOSX or a good doculmentation? -- Alain Barthélemy

gconf and gnomemeeting
by Damir Buskulic 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

Hi, I'm trying to make the last version of gnomemeeting working and, after successful compilation of all packages (pwlib, openh323 and gnomemeeting 0.85, which I can make the rpms available to anybody), when I try to launch it, I get an error saying that gconf is not correctly configured on my system. What should I do ? I had to install a few gnome components from the Suse7.3 PPC cds and I probably miss something. GConf seems to be a "transparent" configuration system... Anybody has ideas ? Is it a known problem ? I searched a few mailing lists but nothing interesting appeared.

GCC 3.x problems on 7.3 (my littleFoot project)
by Andrew Bradley 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Hello All, Some history. I have installed 7.3 successfully on a mac 8500+G3 powerlogix upgrade card using an Adaptec 2930 and voodoo 5500 card that I removed from my G4. X11 4.2 is using fbdev driver before anyone asks :) I recently built the 2.4.18+patch kernel (patch details where on http://www.penguinppc.org/) using "gcc version 2.95.3 20010319 (2.95.4 CVS + prerelease/franzo/20010912)". I even configured the kernel just my hardware. Not a hitch. The box is called "littleFoot". Aims. At work I use GCC 3.x or rather g++ on both Sun Solaris 6 and Red Hat Linux. Both I built from scratch with out a hitch. So, for maximum flexibility I wanted to do the same at home. Problem. My work development cycle requires stdlibc++-v3 because of the advanced template and stream algorithms we are writing. I also use a lot of shared library functionality. However, GCC 3.x behaves very oddly on my system. I tried to "make bootstrap" the compiler under Suse PPC 7.3 as I did at work it fails similarly to the problem I describe below. I even installed Andreas Jaeger prebuilt versions (http://www.suse.com/~aj/gcc30.html). The problem I get is an intermittent crash of the compiler. See below. I tried various combinations of make -j 2, make and doing g++ directely. If I do a make clean and then a make -j to build 8 or so files it will fail say on the 7th file. If I try make again it will work. The error message always seems to mention locale_facets.tcc. I am beginning to wonder if I am the only one using g++ 3.x on a macintosh under linux! And am I the only one building a powerpc gcc 3.x on a powerpc gcc 3.x on a macintosh? I recently started to look at http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc_binary_snapshots to see if I can use their prebuilt binaries. They have not packaged this build up as immediately installable but rather captured the bootstrap built and not the make install bit. I have yet to figure out how to piece it all together with the c++ header files. How does Andreas Jeager built gcc 3.x - Does he cross compile it from another host ? Whats the best way forward ? I have a separate email concerning gcc 3.0.4 an its problem. So, Can anyone help ? Where does "franzo" live on the internet ? Is he the PPC compiler expert ?

Hello, Bonjour, I finally managed to use PowerBookG3 with a projector (to use with simpress). Originally the projected image was yellow. Here follows original /etc/X11/XF86Config (yellow image thus): I make transformations like indicated with arrows below. ==> i have no more yellow screen with KDE but can't have more than 800x600 resolution (which does not disturb me) and with 1024x768 ==> yellow screen) But the image is blurred/fuzzy or more precisely split into two image. It is thus difficult to see the details. Does anybody have a way to set the problem. Do I have tp play with HorizSync (now 31-65) or VertRefresh (now 58-78). Thanks Alain Here follows XF86Config: Section "Device" BoardName "Mach64 LI" BusID "0:17:0" Driver "ati" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "dpms" Option "reference_clock Mhz" "29.498928" VendorName "ATI" EndSection ========= below my modifications indicated with arrows =========- Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 15 ======> changed in 8 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 =====> changed in 8 Modes "1024x768" =======> changed in 800x600 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection So it works but how to sharpen the image.

Install on Powerbook G3 Kanga?
by Terry Longrie 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to install SuSE Linux 7.3 on an original PowerBook G3. It is the one that has the same form factor as the PB 3400 but has a G3 instead and went by the code-name of "kanga" when it was released. I am following the "Old World" instructions from the manual and am first booting into MacOS (8.6) and then running BootX from the suseboot folder on the CD to start the installation. In BootX I am choosing the "install-oldworld" kernel. The ramdisk size parameter is defaulting to 8192. I've been checking the 'No Video Driver" box and have been setting the "more kernel arguments" field to "root=/dev/fd0". When I click the SuSE Linux button in BootX the machine reboots and the kernel appears to be starting. I get Tux in the upper left corner and a lot of the usual sort of messages that show up early in the Linux boot process. (I can type them in if anyone would find them beneficial.) The last line displayed is "ide: Assuming 33 MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx". At this point the machine just hangs and the only thing to do is a CTRL, Apple, Power to reboot. I've tried a number of different settings in BootX. It seems to me as though it is not finding any sort of root filesystem to continue with the boot process. As such I've tried setting the additional kernal parameter to root=/dev/hda, hdb, hdc, and so on but always with the same results. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to get some use out of this laptop since it isn't supported by MacOS X. Thank you in advance, Terry Longrie

Hi Olaf! >Did you try wvdial.lxdialog to configure wvdial? Guess what - my modem is running! Thanks for the wvdial.lxdialog suggestion. After having played around with its configuration without any success, I decided to run wvdial from within the lxdialog menu since I had nothing else to do - and it worked. Even with my very first wvdial.config file! Thus, it seems that there is a problem with kinternet. With 'locate kinternet' I couldn't find any configuration file for it. Either my settings are screwy or the program doesn't like my environment. If you know of some way how to tweak kinternet please let me know, otherwise I will forward a bug message to the kinternet guys. Best wishes from a happily connected Jutta

iee1394 / firewire and SuSE 7.3 sucess (kind of)
by Kimball Hodge 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

Hi, I couldn't get the ieee1394 to work with my blue and white G3. It uses the pcilynx driver, but the driver doesn't seem to work with the sbp2 module (which treats the drive as a scsi device. However, I bought a cheap pci firewire card (about $20 on e-bay), and used the ohci1394 module instead of the pcilynx module. It worked like a charm. I'll keep the pci card in my computer until the pcilynx module works correctly, then I'll put the pci card in my old pentium box and use the on-board G3 hardware.

does yast2 update packages like php w/online updates?
by Tom Arnold 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

When I run yast2, it will automatically install security updates if I wish. That's great. I've noticed that the version of php installed on my SuSE PPC 7.3 is 4.0.6, and that there's a security problem in 4.0.6 that could be fixed by upgrading to PHP 4.1.2 I ran yast2 and didn't see anything about PHP 4.1.2. I don't know if this is something that will eventually be put in the update list so I can get it via yast2, or is it not the sort of thing that ever shows up? In other words, am I on my own to update PHP? I really like the automatic update functionality, and I don't want to "break" it by going in and changing configuration or installation stuff on my own. I'm pretty new to SuSE and I've found that suseconfig keeps a checksum so I have to be careful about what config files I touch. Is there any similar warning about yast2 and online updates? ===== Tom Arnold Summit Media Partners Visit our web site at http://www.summitmediapartners.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Realtek 8139 Driver... bug? feature?
by Christian Schmidt 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hi all - especially Olaf Hering, I've been playing around with SusePPC for quite a time now... I started on PPC with Suse 7.0, got a 7.1 and bought the 7.3 packet few days ago. I'm running SusePPC on my Umax Pulsar 604e@200 MHz including a NIC with Realtek chipset 8139. SusePPC 7.0 couldn't get this nic running, with 7.1PPC I could get a conection after renaming the module, and with PPC 7.3 it's still the same. IIRC this problem with a bad-named module was discussed on the German suse-linux mailing list few time after 7.0 for Intel had been released. Will Suse ever get the Realrek NICs running without manually editing configuration files? Yours, Christian -- Christian Schmidt schmidtc(a)chemie.uni-hamburg.de

Timetable for SuSE 8?
by Michèl Alexandre Salim 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hello, I'm thinking of getting SuSE Linux to run on my iBook2 since it seems to be better-maintained than the rest (would have gotten it last month but SuSE people provided an x86-only link to their XFree 4.2 update, leading me to believe there's no PPC version available, incorrectly at that). The problem is, with SuSE 8 for x86 out by mid-April, I don't really want to end up with 8 obsolete CDs... so anyone has any knowledge of when SuSE 8/PPC will be out?

suse7.3ppc on G4/733+nvidia (fwd)
by Jean-Francois Donati 10 Mar '02

10 Mar '02

(this is a copy of the previous message i sent, but the address i used was wrong. so please use this one if you want to reply to it). Hi everybody, I recently managed to implement suse7.3ppc on a G4/733 tower with a nvidia GeFroce 2 MX graphics card and a 17" flat panel (apple studio display), using the kernel recently posted on, eg www.penguinppc.org, by Ani Joshi. Trying with the original 2.4.12 or 2.4.16 kernels did not work at all, the kernel didnot recognise the flat panel properly (i was getting something on the screen, but the synchronisation parameters were obviously wrong, as all the boot information was squeezed in the upper part of the screen and spread out throughout its full width). I could not test the nv driver though beacuse it requires xf86 4.2 to work and it looks as if the xf86 4.2 rpms that i downloaded from suse web site cannot be installed properly (missing a few libraries, libXtrap.so.6, libXrandr.so.1, libXv.so.1 in particular). However, the colors are fine, and the whole desktop environment is much nicer than it was. Still i have a number of problems. The kernel that AniJoshi provided is 2.4.18-rc2, and i don't have the modules for it. It means that a number of things don't work, among which the cdrom (hdc: no driver present), the modem (cannot find the modem port), and probably many other features. it also tells that hfs is not supported under this kernel. Here are the questions that i have: * would it be possible to get the modules that i would need for 2.4.18-rc2, or alternatively to get a new kernel rpm with modules that incorporates AniJoshi's changes to make it recognise the flat panel and nvidia graphics card. * would it be possible to know where to get the missing libraries so that i can install xf86 4.2, and test the nv driver for graphics acceleration?? thanks for any help. cheers, jeanfrancois donati -------------------- Jean-Francois Donati Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees, 14 avenue Edouard Belin, F-31400 Toulouse, France E-mail: jean-francois.donati(a)obs-mip.fr, Tel: (33) 561332917, Fax: (33) 561332840, URL: http://webast.ast.obs-mip.fr/people/donati

PPP: Authentication failure
by Jutta Buschbom 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

Hallo! I configured my modem and PPP through YaST and wvdial.conf in Suse 7.3 on my Powerbook Firewire. What I haven't been able to solve so far is an authentication dialog failure between the modem and the provider (my university). University modem pool support could only confirm my settings but otherwise does not support Linux. Thus, maybe somebody here would have an idea what I am still missing to get the modem running. I tried to take over the settings from my MacOS partition for which the modem is connecting fine. Those are: Remote Access: registered user, username, password, phone number Options: redial off, allow error correction and compression in modem, use TCP header compression Modem: 56k, sound on, dialing tone, do not ignore dialing tone TCP/IP: Connect via PPP, Configure: using PPP server (there is a nameserver IP, but university support said that that is bogus) In linux the provider part in wvdial.conf looks like this: [Dialer UofC] Ask Password = 0 Auto DNS = 1 Auto Reconnect = 0 DNS1 = DNS2 = Demand = no Idle Seconds = 180 Inherits = Dialer modem0 Password = [password] Phone = [number] Provider = UofCModem Username =[username] YaST2 Record = provider I am connecting using Kinternet and the log gives me the following messages: ... Entering PPP mode Async interface address is unnumbered (Loop back 1) Your IP address [number]. MTU is 1500 bytes Header compression will match your system. -> Looks like a welcome message -> Starting pppd at [date] -> pid of pppd: 7356 -> PPP was killed (signal 11) -> Disconnecting We are disconnected. -> PPP daemon has died. Peer didn't authenticate itself (exit code 11). Any ideas? Thanks! Jutta

Need help with XFree86 4.2 and Voodoo5
by John Grantham 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hi all, I have a Mac with the following configuration: PowerMac 9500 with G3/500 processor 144 MB RAM Acard UDMA/66 6260M card Voodoo5 video card with 64 MB RAM in PCI slot 0:13:0 (plugged into this is a generic 17" VGA monitor, max. 1024x768) Formac ProFormance III graphic card in 0:14:0 (not actually in use -- for some reason the Mac refuses to boot when the card is not installed, even after a CUDA hardware reset) Farallon 100BaseT Ethernet card I am running SuSE 7.1/PPC with the updated 4.2.0 XFree86 binaries from SuSE's supplementary area and the stock 2.4.2 kernel. (I tried the precompiled 2.4.16 kernel from SuSE, but it failed to work with my Acard UDMA card, which is running the drive with Linux on it.) SaX2 fails to recognize the card at all -- in the error log it just writes "fbdev" instead of "tdfx" for the driver. When I run SaX2, I briefly get the grey screen with the "X" cursor, then the screen goes blank, and SaX says it can't do anything. I have to force it to create an XF86Config file, either with sax2 -af or sax2-m 0=tdfx, neither of which work. If I use fbdev, I get a badly distorted X screen and KDE starts up -- the screen is compressed into the left third of the monitor, with the colors totally off (mostly white). If I use tdfx, I get this error message (these are excerpts taken from the log): (--) PCI:*(0:13:0) 3dfx Interactive Voodoo5 rev 1, Mem @ 0xb0000000/26, 0xa0000000/ 27, I/O @ 0x10000/8, BIOS @ 0x80810000/16 (--) PCI: (0:14:0) 3Dlabs GLINT Permedia 3 rev 1, Mem @ 0x80880000/17, 0x84000000/2 6, 0x90000000/26, I/O @ 0x0800/4, BIOS @ 0x80820000/16 (II) Addressable bus resource ranges are [0] -1 0x00000000 - 0xffffffff (0x0) MX[B] [1] -1 0x00000000 - 0x0000ffff (0x10000) IX[B] (II) OS-reported resource ranges: [0] -1 0xffffffff - 0xffffffff (0x1) MX[B] [1] -1 0x00000000 - 0x00000000 (0x1) MX[B] [2] -1 0x0000ffff - 0x0000ffff (0x1) IX[B] [3] -1 0x00000000 - 0x00000000 (0x1) IX[B] (II) Active PCI resource ranges: [0] -1 0xf3000000 - 0xf301ffff (0x20000) MX[B] [1] -1 0x80800000 - 0x808000ff (0x100) MX[B] [2] -1 0x80820000 - 0x8082ffff (0x10000) MX[B](B) [3] -1 0x90000000 - 0x93ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [4] -1 0x84000000 - 0x87ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [5] -1 0x80880000 - 0x8089ffff (0x20000) MX[B](B) [6] -1 0x80810000 - 0x8081ffff (0x10000) MX[B](B) [7] -1 0xa0000000 - 0xa7ffffff (0x8000000) MX[B](B) [8] -1 0xb0000000 - 0xb3ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [9] -1 0x00000400 - 0x0000040f (0x10) IX[B] [10] -1 0x00000410 - 0x00000413 (0x4) IX[B] [11] -1 0x00000420 - 0x00000427 (0x8) IX[B] [12] -1 0x00000430 - 0x00000433 (0x4) IX[B] [13] -1 0x00000440 - 0x00000447 (0x8) IX[B] [14] -1 0x00000400 - 0x000004ff (0x100) IX[B] [15] -1 0x00000800 - 0x0000080f (0x10) IX[B](B) [16] -1 0x00010000 - 0x000100ff (0x100) IX[B](B) (II) Active PCI resource ranges after removing overlaps: [0] -1 0xf3000000 - 0xf301ffff (0x20000) MX[B] [1] -1 0x80800000 - 0x808000ff (0x100) MX[B] [2] -1 0x80820000 - 0x8082ffff (0x10000) MX[B](B) [2] -1 0x80820000 - 0x8082ffff (0x10000) MX[B](B) [3] -1 0x90000000 - 0x93ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [4] -1 0x84000000 - 0x87ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [5] -1 0x80880000 - 0x8089ffff (0x20000) MX[B](B) [6] -1 0x80810000 - 0x8081ffff (0x10000) MX[B](B) [7] -1 0xa0000000 - 0xa7ffffff (0x8000000) MX[B](B) [8] -1 0xb0000000 - 0xb3ffffff (0x4000000) MX[B](B) [9] -1 0x00000400 - 0x0000040f (0x10) IX[B] [10] -1 0x00000410 - 0x00000413 (0x4) IX[B] [11] -1 0x00000420 - 0x00000427 (0x8) IX[B] [12] -1 0x00000430 - 0x00000433 (0x4) IX[B] [13] -1 0x00000440 - 0x00000447 (0x8) IX[B] [14] -1 0x00000400 - 0x000004ff (0x100) IX[B] [15] -1 0x00000800 - 0x0000080f (0x10) IX[B](B) [16] -1 0x00010000 - 0x000100ff (0x100) IX[B](B) (II) OS-reported resource ranges after removing overlaps with PCI: [0] -1 0xffffffff - 0xffffffff (0x1) MX[B] [1] -1 0x00000000 - 0x00000000 (0x1) MX[B] [2] -1 0x0000ffff - 0x0000ffff (0x1) IX[B] [3] -1 0x00000000 - 0x00000000 (0x1) IX[B] --snip-- (WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0x10000 e: 0x100ff correcting (II) TDFX(0): TDFXFindChips: found 1 chip(s) (**) TDFX(0): Depth 8, (--) framebuffer bpp 8 (==) TDFX(0): Default visual is PseudoColor (--) TDFX(0): Chipset: "3dfx Voodoo5" (--) TDFX(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xA0000000 (--) TDFX(0): MMIO registers at addr 0xB0000000 (EE) TDFX(0): No valid PIO address in PCI config space (II) UnloadModule: "tdfx" (II) UnloadModule: "vgahw" As for the kernel module for the console, nothing doing there either.

DRI wants a newer r128.o in 4.2, you could recompile the km_drm in the suse73/4.2.0/other directory.

suse7.3ppc on G4/733+nvidia
by Jean-Francois Donati 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Hi everybody, I recently managed to implement suse7.3ppc on a G4/733 tower with a nvidia GeFroce 2 MX graphics card and a 17" flat panel (apple studio display), using the kernel recently posted on, eg www.penguinppc.org, by Ani Joshi. Trying with the original 2.4.12 or 2.4.16 kernels did not work at all, the kernel didnot recognise the flat panel properly (i was getting something on the screen, but the synchronisation parameters were obviously wrong, as all the boot information was squeezed in the upper part of the screen and spread out throughout its full width). I could not test the nv driver though beacuse it requires xf86 4.2 to work and it looks as if the xf86 4.2 rpms that i downloaded from suse web site cannot be installed properly (missing a few libraries, libXtrap.so.6, libXrandr.so.1, libXv.so.1 in particular). However, the colors are fine, and the whole desktop environment is much nicer than it was. Still i have a number of problems. The kernel that AniJoshi provided is 2.4.18-rc2, and i don't have the modules for it. It means that a number of things don't work, among which the cdrom (hdc: no driver present), the modem (cannot find the modem port), and probably many other features. it also tells that hfs is not supported under this kernel. Here are the questions that i have: * would it be possible to get the modules that i would need for 2.4.18-rc2, or alternatively to get a new kernel rpm with modules that incorporates AniJoshi's changes to make it recognise the flat panel and nvidia graphics card. * would it be possible to know where to get the missing libraries so that i can install xf86 4.2, and test the nv driver for graphics acceleration?? thanks for any help. cheers, jeanfrancois donati -------------------- Jean-Francois Donati Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees, 14 avenue Edouard Belin, F-31400 Toulouse, France E-mail: jean-francois.donati(a)obs-mip.fr, Tel: (33) 561332917, Fax: (33) 561332840, URL: http://webast.ast.obs-mip.fr/people/donati

It will then freeze shortly after (I pressed return twice at the shell prompt and it was dead after the frist return press). Using startx after a hard shutdown/reboot, X came up again but froze after just a few clicks. The resolution feels initially more like 800x600.

Maybe I can find the time to solve this within this millenium. It is annoying. If it ever happens, I'll let you know. Heinz

A little help updating KDE2.2.2 Welcome
by Emilio Silva 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

1)My last step updating KDE2.2.2(install kdebase.rpm) faces the following warnings:after installing all other rpms of BASE. - libcdda_interface.so.0 is needed... - libcdda_paranoia.so.0 is needed... I use SuSE7.0 and downloaded the KDE2.2.2 packages for 7.0 version of SuSEppc(glibc 2.1.3-172) so these components should be present.How can I get through this? 2) -libXm.so.1 also lacks for kdebase-nsplugin.rpm(WhatŽs this libXm.so.1 and where can I get it?).

USB-CD-writers supported by SuSE 7.1 (ppc)?
by Markus Kuschnik 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

Dear listmembers, Does anyone of you know about a website listing USB-CD-writers which are compatible with (or incompatible with, in case that is easier) SuSE-Linux 7.1 (2.4-kernel)? I am running the said software on a 2 GB partition on my iMac, and I'd like to find external CD-writers that are accessible via the Mac-partition (OS 9.2) as well as via SuSE-Linux 7.1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Markus Kuschnik mkuschnik(a)freenet.de

Installation problem Suse 7.1 PPC on IBM B50

Hello there, i'm trying to install suse 7.1 ppc on an IBM RS/6000 B50 server. i tried installing it accordingly to the instructions on the manual but was faced with serious problems. after booting from the CD 2 ( CHRP Based computers ) the boot process freezes at: ramdisk loaded at 0x1900000, size 753253 bytes instantiating rtas at 00600000 ... done copying OF device tree... done returning 01400000 from prom_init we have looked all around for help, including Suse's knowledge database, google and other places with no success. the server is installed with AIX and functioning perfectly. it does not look like a hardware problem. please help, i have never seen anything like it before and it is not mentioned anywhere. thank you -- Alex 1100001 1101100 1100101 1111000 1100001 1110100 1011010 1100101 1110010 1101111 1001011 1100101 1101100 1110110 1101001 1101110 1100100 1101111 1110100 1100011 1100011

Freeswan

Hi, Is anyone running freeswan on SuSE 7.3/PPC with kernel 2.4.16? Mine did not work because the module ipsec.o is missing. Rolling my own did not work because the freeswan kernel patches did not apply. Maybe anyone has already an spm for freeswan 1.95? Uwe

PowerStack Series E, installing 7.3
by Wrobel Heinz-r39252 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi, I had the chance to spend a few hours installing plain 7.3 on a Motorola PowerStack Series E with 64MB RAM and a 604 CPU. Not a whole lot of time, but I noticed a few things up to now that may be of interest as I couldn't find comments anywhere on these topics. - While I could boot the first CD, the machine froze after the message "Uncompressing" when trying to set up the RAMDISK. Couldn't find a way to get around this. Is the PReP CD boot kernel known to be broken? - I used some very old (6.4?) install disks I still had somewhere to boot a kernel far enough to get to the 7.3 CDs. Didn't have much success putting the kernel image available with 7.3 onto floppy disks. They are apparently larger than 1.44MB. Oh well. - The PowerStack in question was AIX formatted. The install process will not allow partitioning and will not(!) issue an error message. I used a separate virtual console to manually pre-partition the disk to a DOS empty state to be able to install the system. Took me a while to figure that out. - Debian documents a "bootargs" PPCBUG variable which apparently the SuSE kernel doesn't support. I hacked the kernel content for the root partition name. Would be nice though if it supported bootargs. - /usr/X11R6/bin/sax doesn't exist. Well, sax.sh does, but that's not what sax2 tells me. Anyway, XF86 V3/4 apparently isn't set up to support the Cirrus chipset as both sax and sax2 freeze the machine with a black screen eventually. Interesting enough, X itself starts up in 640*480with FBDev on top of CLgen,cfb8 but sax/sax2 won't ever. X freezes up the machine *very* easily on just a few mouse clicks. I guess for now I have to avoid X. - "halt" doesn't. The machine will reboot and doesn't stop. Actually, no PPC kernel ever halted on the PowerStacks that I tried. Wonder why. Ok, maybe some of this helps others, maybe you also have some input that could help me. Heinz Wrobel

Does anyone use an Acard IDE-Adapter?
by Manz＠lifenet.de 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello! I have an old PPC 9500 with a built-in scsi-bus (2 actually) and an Acard PCI-IDE-Card (AEC6260R). I have SuSE 7.3 on the old scsi-drive sda. The program does recognize the IDE-card and the drive attached to it, but I get boot-messages like hde: lost interrupt, lost irq func only, dma_chipset ???, and the drive is being probed for ages. I tried to install Macos under MOL on it, but I gave up, because it takes ages. It will probably run all night for an installation. Has anyone solved these problems? Marianne
