I'm trying to install Suse PPC 7.3 on a Umax s900, and am having trouble.

The configuration is as follows:

Apple 604e/133 (Also tried Railgun G3 300)

80MB ram (16 onboard + 2x 32MB dimms, interleaved)

adaptec 2940UW PCI slot B

ATI xclaim VR 4MB PCI slot A

IBM 2.1GB wide SCSI, ID 0 on adaptec, MacOS 9.1

Seagate ST39173LW U2W scsi, ID 1 on adaptec, 100MB macos simple, 128mb swap, 8.4gb root/ext2

Toshiba XM-5701B 12X cdrom drive

I downloaded the files from the Suse ftp, install-oldworld and bootx.

Installed bootx, chose install-oldworld as the kernel file, and boot linux

Linux starts, loads the installer, and I start install using FTP.

It downloads the packages for Yast, and gives me dialogue where I can choose Yast or Yast2

i can choose either one, but for both it goes throught the loading screen,

then gives me an error: "An Error Occurred During Installation!"

If I change processes, I get the following on #3

OK, going to mount 0.0.0.0:/cdrom ...

auto2_net_dev:438 NFS Mount Failed

auto2_find_install_medium:754OK, that didn't work; see if we can activate anoth

/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2.start return code is 32512 (errno = 4)

and on process 4, i get

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-105, errno = 5

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me if possible.
