Hi all,
i'm trying to boot into the SuSe installer from a PPC 9500 running macOS 9.1 without success. (kernel panic or machine check)
Can you paste the last lines from the boot output? What kernel do you use? 2.4.6-benh should work.
Here is my setup :
2 disks attached to this machine :
dd1
macos 9.1 on HFS+ partition 6 (10go) boot on HFS partition 7 (300mo) Apple_Free Extra partition 7 ( 10.5G) >>UNUSED<< Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap partition 9 (128.0M) Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root partition 10 ( 10.5G) Apple_UNIX_SVR2 A/UX Root partition 11 ( 10.7G)
dd2 (backup disk) macos 9.1 on HFS partition (2go) BootX as control panel (v1.2.3) Linux Kernels in system folder (same as below) ramdisk in sytem folder
boot contains : (HFS partition on IDE disk attached to Sonnet Tempo ATA/66)
suseboot : BootX App (v1.2.3) BootX Settings Finder Linux Kernels : miboot.image.initrd (advice from SuSe support) miBoot.img (advice from SuSe support) vmlinux vmlinux-2.4.4-3b (advice from SuSe support) vmlinux-2.4.6-benh (advice from SuSe support) os-chooser ramdisk-text.image.gz ramdisk-x11.image.gz ramdisk.image.gz System tools yaboot yaboot.conf · BootX Extension
which hd may i use to boot (i'd prefer dd1) onto SuSe installer ? seems although the IDE disk is recognized by the kernel (vmlinux-2.4.6- benh) BootX doesn't give the right disk, reason for kernel panic ?
What do you mean with "BootX doesn't give the right disk"?
did someone have succes in booting linux on a IDE disk attached to a Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 ?
I read about success somewhere, it was a 2.4 kernel. -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
