Hi to all, I write just to report that I've been able to install it, with Ursula trick I was able to load the NIC driver and perform the installation via ftp. After the installation I had to copy the zImage and the modules on a floppy , because the original kernel shipped with 7.3 distro, refused to boot correctly (it reported an error message in the OF , unfortunately I don't have the exact message, but it wassomething like "Default catch error in load base address xxxxxxx" very similar to the error provided when I tried a Prep kernel on this machine). After the error message, I re-booted from the floppy , and from the linuxrc menu I've chosen start the installaled system, I starded manually the nic (using the modules obtained from ramdisk.floppy-install.gz), and downloaded the k_deflt-2.4.17-12.ppc.rpm and modutils-2.4.11-1.ppc.rpm from a ftp site (the base ftp url is : ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/BETA/kernel/deflt/ ) ; with this kernel I was able to boot and I have a working linux installation. Thanks again to Matthias and Ursula for their support bye M. -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ Against HTML Mail
