Help! /dev/hda as root-partitition isn't recovered
by peter brechbuehl 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Hello! Help! Something went wrong on my installed SuSe-System 7.3 on my PPC Cube. I pressed the reset-button (ok, I know, I shouldn't, but what else shall I do, when the keyboard won't react) Now, my root-partitition /dev/hda12 can't be recovered/started up. As I am e beginner with Linux, I don't know what to do, and, the SuSe CD Nr. 1 isn't helpful as recovery-CD as far as I know... Thanks for help. Peter, Berne, Switzerland

Thanks to Christian and Herouth for the answers. I am in contact with a tech guy at my end that may be willing to help get this setup to work. I'll keep the list informed if this project becomes of something. Cheers, Brian

SuSE w/UMAX Pulsar?
by Brian Durant 17 Jun '02

17 Jun '02

Hi, I am new to this SuSE list, I generally hang out at SuSE-E. I have a UMAX Pulsar that I would like to install SuSE onto. Is this a doable project? Anyone on the list that has done this or has a URL for someone with a page about how they did it? I would prefer to get SuSE to run without Boot X if possible. My setup is a UMAX Pulsar (purchased in Denmark), with a Matrox graphics card and a G3 upgrade. I still have the old 604e motherboard as well, if an install with a 604e is more likely to succeed. Otherwise, the system is pretty standard. I won't purchase SuSE PPC before I know if this has a good chance of working. I have looked through the list archive and found that there are those that have attempted a project like this, but never any full report on anyone being successfull. Cheers, Brian

Anybody with ideas? Can't help you with firmware-boot, but there is a method which is a derivative of BootX, called miboot. It requires a very small HFS partition on your disk, where you put a fake Mac-like system folder, whose system file is actually a boot application. It is accompanied by a kernel file. You do have to have a MacOS at first, in order to change the resources in that system file, to read the correct kernel file and pass the correct kernel parameters (mainly video settings and root partition). Once you have done that, and chosen that System folder as your boot, you won't need to have MacOS on that computer again, unless you change video settings etc., so you should probably have a MacOS boot CD with ResEdit on it, lying around for emergencies, but that's about it.

SuSE 8.x PPC (trave to Bolivia with SuSE as my primary tool)
by Janus Sandsgaard 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Hi SuSE Geekos When can we expect SuSE to launch SuSE 8.x for PPC? I am going to Bolivia for five month (among other things doing Linux-evangelism); from the middle of July until chrismas. It would be great to travel with an up-to-date Linux-distribution with KDE3.x, AbiWord 1.x, Emacs 21.x, Mozilla 1.x and other stuff that is hard to get with limited bandwith. Will I be able to travel to Bolivia with SuSE 8.x on my Pismo? -j -- Akademisk Opgavebank http://akademiskopgavebank.dk

Cube and graficcard Geforce 2mx64MB
by peter brechbuehl 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Hi! In my Cube originally is an ATI Rage Graficcard. In changed now to the Geforce 2mx64MB, but I can't use it under SuSe Linux (Kernel 2.4.12, KDE 2), the Monitor (Apple Studio Display 15") stays black. That means I had to go back to the ATI Rage. How can I configure both cards, that I can change? Thanks for your support! Peter, Berne, Switzerland
