After lots of Alt-E (don't show again), Alt-J (use this file) and Alt-N (don't use this file) I finally got the installation running through until it wants to reboot. After reboot the system is not bootable and drops back to System Management menu and the boot options there too do not recognize any bootable devices apart from CD-ROM and NICs. Previously there was AIX5 on the disk and it seemed it was completely repartitioned by the installer.
On your system, YaST probably just used the whole disk. I've never used any of the POWER systems so I can't really help. SLED 11(SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) would likely have better support for your hardware. It is $50 a year for updates & stuff, but it would at least have all the security patches that openSUSE 11.1 doesn't get anymore. There is also the Evergreen project: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen which should theoretically have the possibility for a fairly updated 11.1 system. However, I'm not sure how well 11.1/ppc is supported or if there are any ppc users helping out with the project. Evergreen is using the SLE 11 kernel. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
