"You may not see any kernel console output, use a serial console on com1 in this case" Thank you for answering

Are there any SuSE PPC 10.0 RC1 YaST or Apt repositories? If not, when might they be available? Does anyone know of any plans by an independant packager (like Guru or Packman) to create PPC RPM's? Thanks for your time, Harryc

Bigger case
by george 13 Sep '05

Anyone know of a decent case I can transfer a G4 466 Mac mo board into a Intel box that holds at least 6 3.5 drives? If it matters, I can also use a B&W G3 board or a G4 450. I have a box that I'm running out of internal drive room. And yes, I already have a bunch of USB2 and firewire cases. I want to keep this internal. I'm willing to do some case tweaking with a dremel tool, but not too much and the power supply has to be bigger. I think my biggest problem is the stock power supply isn't made to power so many drives. The heat isn't helping...but then if I add fans... -- Thanks, George "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP" (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)

The release notes also stated that YaST is not currently able to partition drives on the PPC yet. You have to partition them on either an Intel machine or a system that already has a Linux OS on it like Yellow Dog. As for the colors, I had a simillar problem on my system. When I used SaX2's default config, it was ok. Remember, this is pre-release software, so some stuff doesn't work yet. __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

'Boot cdrom' at OF prompt. Nothing on console, F05 on hexa. -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Hering [mailto:olh@suse.de] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 10:25 AM To: Kiss Miklos - mic Subject: Re: [suse-ppc] Booting on IBM 7043-140 On Tue, Sep 06, Kiss Miklos - mic wrote: > The default console is ttyS0. > OF prompt, boot cdrom:,yaboot > How can i passing command line arguments to kernel ? There is no yaboot, I think you just do 'boot cdrom' or you use the SMS menu to boot from CD.

I got it to come up with a very text based YaST. Need to work on repartioning the drive I will use. Can I set it on an Intel machine and then use it in the Mac? I am using an Adaptec 2940UW card.
