Hi Dinar,
Thanks for your work on the installation media.
Unfortunately though, openSUSE-13.1-ppc64-NET-ppc64-Build0018-Media.iso still fails to boot into Linux on my machine. The initrd appears to load okay but the failure remains when loading RTAS.
The installed system continues to work fine (except it needs some partition resizing that I was hoping to do via a reinstall), so it doesn't sound like it's a general problem with the IBM firmware's RTAS implementation - the firmware did not change since original installation.
Any ideas would be welcome. Maybe reduce initrd size even more? Or is the presence of the graphics card maybe causing problems due to OpenFirmware framebuffer size?
Regards, Andreas

Welcome to openSuSE 13.1!
Type "install" to start the YaST installer on this CD/DVD Type "slp" to start the YaST install via network Type "rescue" to start the rescue system on this CD/DVD
Welcome to yaboot version r22.8-r1190.SuSE booted from '/pci@800000020000003/pci@2,3/ide@1/disk@0:1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm' running with firmware 'IBM,SF240_284' on model 'IBM,9111-285', serial 'IBM,*********', partition '06-C903E' Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: help Press the tab key for a list of defined images. The label marked with a "*" is the default image, press <return> to boot it.
To boot any other label simply type its name and press <return>. It is also possible to expand a label with the tab key.
To boot a kernel image which is not defined in the yaboot configuration file, enter the kernel image name as [[device:[partno]],]/path, where "device:" is the OpenFirmware device path to the disk the image resides on, and "partno" is the partition number the image resides on. Note that the comma (,) is only required if you specify an OpenFirmware device, if you only specify a filename you should not start it with a "," The shortcut '&device;' can be used to specify the OpenFirmware device path where yaboot was loaded from.
To load an initrd, specify its path as initrd=[[device:[partno]],]/path
If you omit "device:" and "partno" yaboot will use the values of "device=" and "partition=" in yaboot.conf, right now those are set to: device=/pci@800000020000003/pci@2,3/ide@1/disk@0 partition=1

Ben, do you know what this means? Alex
