Here are a few things I have noticed. Remember, I am using Old World macs.... I added the MacOS patition, /dev/hda6, under YaST. However, when I checked the directory, which I labeled /macos, I found the text file about "Where did all the files go?". So, I looked at /etc/fstab, and the filesystem type was "hfs". I changed it to "hfs+", and was given an error when I tried to remount it. I changed the filesystem type to "hfsplus" and when I remounted it this time it worked fine. I went back into YaST's partitioner and checked to see if there was an option for the Apple HFS+ filesystem, and it only listed 1 Apple filesystem type. Do I need to use the ramdisk image to boot the system with an updated kernel? When I uncheck the ramdisk option, and input sda3 as my root device, I get a kernel panic because it can't find the root device. I am assuming that it is not loading the Adaptec SCSI module for some reason. Checking the "Force SCSI" option does not work as well. I have found that since I used YOU to update the kernel that the installation system no longer comes up when I boot using the newer ramdisk, so I don't know if it is a big deal about using the ramsdisk or not. I have 384MB, and I have a good deal of free RAM available. One thing I have noticed is that the USB drivers seem to be loaded before the SCSI drivers using the installation system. It seems that the USB drive gets labeled /dev/sda and the SCSI drive gets bumped to /dev/sdb. After updating my kernel with YOU, It properly loads the adaptec driver and sees /dev/sda3 properly. Perhaps a warning should be given during installation when USB and SCSI drives are detected. I realize that the majority of systems out there use IDE, but there are still many of us that prefer the dependability and speed of SCSI. I realize that a lot of devices are made to look like SCSI in Linux as well as WinDoZe, but it seems there would be a more intelligent way to set this up.... Also, I think I had brought this up once before. Why is it that when I am running under KDE, I have to use "control open-apple Fx" to get to a text terminal, but when I am on a text terminal, I use the standard "control alt Fx" key combination. I know that KDE has an option to edit the key combos, but can this one be modified? It would be nice to have the regular combo all the time.
