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.

[opensuse-ppc] 10.2-ppc PReP boot.iso uploaded

by Olaf Hering

I have uploaded an 80MB boot.iso for PReP systems. boot/ppc/zImage.prep.initrd is the bootfile, it should be possible to load this file also from harddisk or via tftp. A 10.2-bet2 testinstall was almost successful. But I forgot to replace the installed kernel-default.rpm from the orginial install media with the one on the uploaded boot.iso, so my MTX+ is stuck now until I reset it. The bootloader install will not work out of the box. YaST will not figure out a valid boot device. To workaround this, go into the bootloader config in YaST. There is a pulldown menu on the right side. Select 'Edit configuration file'. Add 'default=linux' and 'boot=/dev/sda' as global options for lilo.conf. After package installation, YaST will reboot the system. It does not know that the shipped kernel-default will not work on PReP. To work around this, boot again from the boot.iso. Instead of fresh install or upgrade, select 'Other -> boot into installed system', and continue with the installation. Once you have done that, install the kernel-default.rpm from the boot.iso. sax2 is currently unusable, it will write an incomplete and unusuable xorg.conf. I dont know in what shape xorg7.1 is for the graphics cards in PReP systems. The mga driver may work, but better stick with fbdev. 'Xorg -configure' should be able to write a xorg.conf that can be used as a start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] How to activate the G4 cache on Old World macs

by larrystotler＠netscape.net

I recently aquired a G4/700/1M upgrade for my 9600/300. This upgrade has a 256k on-chip L2 cache and a 1MB off chip L3 cache that runs at 200Mhz. When I start up the openSuSE v10.0 installer, it shows the L2 cache, but it doesn't mention the L3. I have also ran into this on my Beige G3 when I installed a G4/400/1M. This chip is from a Yike PCI G4 machine. When I start Linux, the L2 cache of 1M is not shown. BootX comes with a tool called GrabG3CacheSetting, but this tool doesn't work with the G4s. I have seen some hacks about editing out the BootX settings manually, but I'm really not sure what to do. Any help would be appriciated. I'm sure that the G4/700 will be very fast even without the L3 cache active, but the G4/400 won't be......

This list will be migrated to opensuse-ppc@opensuse.org

by Henne Vogelsang

Hi, as announced a while ago on the big lists [1] we will move this list to the new mailinglist server. We have also decided to rename it while moving it. All this will happen this friday (2006.11.10). I cant say exactly at which time but i will send a short heads-up mail right before we are doing it. This means a few things for you. 1. This list, suse-ppc(a)suse.com, will be renamed to opensuse-ppc(a)opensuse.org This means that mails to you will come from the new address and for posting you also have to send mail to opensuse-ppc(a)opensuse.org. The old list adress will still work but is depreceated. I will turn it off in the future (with notice). 2. Your subscription will get transfered to the new listserver. No action on your part is required to continue reciving mails from this list. 3. Because of the renaming the mailinglist headers will change. If you filter for headers in your mail setup please adopt your setup accordingly. New headers will look like this: Delivered-To: opensuse-ppc(a)lists4.opensuse.org Mailing-List: contact opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org; run by mlmmj X-Mailinglist: opensuse-ppc List-Post: <mailto:opensuse-ppc@opensuse.org> List-Help: <mailto:opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org> List-Subscribe: <mailto:opensuse-ppc+subscribe@opensuse.org> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org> List-Owner: <mailto:opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org> 4. Mails will originate from the new server. If you accepts listmails only from the listserver adopt your setup accordingly. The mails will originate from DNS: lists4.suse.de IP: 195.135.221.135 5. The webarchive of this list is located at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-ppc/ 6. We are using a new mailinglist manager on the new server. This means some aspects of using the list changed. Some features are dropped and some new features are added. For a complete list check out this post: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2006-08/msg00005.html 7. If you have any problems at all with the new setup please dont hesitate to contact me!
