That was me :) 'inst32' does not boot on the Pegasos any more :-( What you can do is installing a minimal 10.3 and upgrade it to 11.0 using zypper. Beware, 10.3 is badly broken for ppc32, as there are some packages with direct 64bit dependencies, which mess up the system. So install a minimal 10.3, do not run online upgrade during installation, and once ready, remove any 64bit packages: rpm -e itrace rpm -qa '*-64bit*' | xargs rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts rpm -qa '*ppc64*' | xargs rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts Then replace the 10.3 installation sources with 11.0 and first upgrade rpm (zypper -v in rpm), then upgrade zypper (zypper -v in zypper), and then the rest of the distro (zypper -v dup).
Ugh, I was really hoping that there is a simpler procedure than that... Since I already have a running (Debian) system, I wonder if I could bootstrap the installation from there somehow?
If you run into any problems, please let me know!
Thanks! It seems like PPC does not really have a high priority for openSUSE anymore, if things have been "badly broken" in 10.3 already and it now even doesn't boot anymore. Or is it only that bad on the Pegasos?
