I had this problem installing on the Old World macs as well. What I did was get rid of the proposed Apple_HFS partition suggestion. For some reason, YaST evidently can't format an HFS+ partition. And, since you don't plan on having Mac OS on that machine, it is unnessessary. It is neccessary for the old world macs because of the way they boot and because you need to copy the kernel and initrd files to the mac os parititon since you have to actually boot the MacOS on the Old World macs and then reboot into Linux using a utility called BootX. Off topic - I had always wanted to take theoratical physics in college.....oh well. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Moore <nmoore@winona.edu> Presently trying to install Suse 10.0 on a Power Mac G4. I have no intention of installing OSX on the machine, the YaST partition tool suggests the following partition config: Device Size Format Type Mount /dev/hda 9.5 GB Quantum-FireballP LM10.2 /dev/hda1 39MB Apple_HFS /dev/hda2 1.0GB F Linux swap swap /dev/hda3 8.5GB F Linux native (Reiser) / When I go ahead with this setup, I see the error, Storage modification failed. System error code was: -1012 Failure occurred during following action: Setting type of partition /dev/hda1 to 102 I'm working off of the wiki, http://en.opensuse.org/PPC_Partitioning. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
