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?

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. :(

Trying to get the factory iso to boot on my PowerMac Digital Audio. Has:
466Mhz G4 w/ 1MB L2
1.5GB RAM
80GB IDE Hard Drive
DVD-ROM drive
ATI Rage 128 AGP
I'm able to boot the Fedora 16/ppc32 DVD(which fails on install) ok,
but when I try the Factory iso, it doesn't even see it.
Anyone else manage to get this going on a G4 Mac?

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

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

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?
