I am having a ton of trouble installing from the CD. I get to the ash_ RPM files and it bails, i get

i am attempting to install the PPC version on a B&W G3 rev.1 (OS 8.6.1)on an external SCSI,
A common mistake is to forget to format the partition with ext2, yast2 doesnt warn you.
It seems that you have a machine with the broken CMD 646 IDE chipsets. You have to update your kernel: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.0-test13/
replace the vmlinux file in your "suseboot" folder with the new one.
