[opensuse-ppc] Sleep LED misused on 10.2 (iBook G3)
by Karl Eichwalder 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

The iBook G3 come with a white LED that's active if the device sleeps. On 10.2 during installation you seem to misuse it to signal hard disk activity. How can I disable it? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0005-Media.iso - DHCP
by Andreas Färber 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hello, With Dinar's help I was able to figure out that the hang after DHCP4 I was seeing after reboot into the installed system was a regression in Factory's dhcpcd. (Installing dhcp-client via static IP and using dhclient worked fine.) Now with the new 0005 CD, DHCP seems broken in the installer, too. :( Andreas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

I opened https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749392 for this, on 28 February, but it's still marked as NEW (not yet assigned). Is there anything we can do to expedite this? Latest factory still seems to omit these modules. One other oddity: The installation system reports 3.1.0.5-default from 3 November 2011??? - I am booting with Build--0006.NET, with the process described by Wolfgang Engel on 18 February. PPC repo cloned with rsync to local FTP server (Yes, lack of DHCP is a pain) Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, What do you think if we can follow x86 Factory movement to try to switch default bootloader to grub2? grub2 is packaged We need to hack: perl-bootloader yast2-bootloader probably installation-images It should work on pSeries machines and PowerMac. Any volunteers? Have fun, Dinar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] No hard disk found by YaST during factory install from 12.2 build 0003 NET
by Richard (MQ) 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

I think a new thread is called for here. As mentioned somewhere in the thread "Booting openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0003-Media.iso" I'm having trouble installing factory on my old 1999 G3 machine. I can boot the NET image as described in that thread, using a local copy of the factory repo and vsftp. But YaST then reports no hard disc, and getting a console with Alt-F2 and running pdisk confirms this. I assume the necessary module is not being loaded, but not sure what to look for. The hardware is just fine, running mac OS-X and Opensuse 11.0 if I boot the installed hard disc. Running lspci offers very few likely interfaces for the hd, apart from several with "host bridge" in the name. Comparing the output from lsmod with that from OSL 11.0 yields few clues either. Please can anyone help with tracking down the module that I need to get the installer under way? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) Linux user # 439271 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org
