Hi all,
i'm trying to boot into the SuSe installer from a PPC 9500 running macOS
9.1 without success.
(kernel panic or machine check)
Here is my setup :
2 disks attached to this machine :
dd1
macos 9.1 on HFS+ partition 6 (10go)
boot on HFS partition 7 (300mo)
Apple_Free Extra partition 7 ( 10.5G) >>UNUSED<<
Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap partition 9 (128.0M)
Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root partition 10 ( 10.5G)
Apple_UNIX_SVR2 A/UX Root partition 11 ( 10.7G)
dd2 (backup disk)
macos 9.1 on HFS partition (2go)
BootX as control panel (v1.2.3)
Linux Kernels in system folder (same as below)
ramdisk in sytem folder
boot contains : (HFS partition on IDE disk attached to Sonnet Tempo ATA/66)
suseboot :
BootX App (v1.2.3)
BootX Settings
Finder
Linux Kernels :
miboot.image.initrd (advice from SuSe support)
miBoot.img (advice from SuSe support)
vmlinux
vmlinux-2.4.4-3b (advice from SuSe support)
vmlinux-2.4.6-benh (advice from SuSe support)
os-chooser
ramdisk-text.image.gz
ramdisk-x11.image.gz
ramdisk.image.gz
System
tools
yaboot
yaboot.conf
· BootX Extension
which hd may i use to boot (i'd prefer dd1) onto SuSe installer ?
seems although the IDE disk is recognized by the kernel (vmlinux-2.4.6-
benh) BootX doesn't give the right disk, reason for kernel panic ?
did someone have succes in booting linux on a IDE disk attached to a
Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 ?
regards,
