I am running PPC version of SuSE7.1 on a G4 powermac and was wondering if anyone would know of a way to control the bios on the powermac so when the power is interupted, the machine will just restart automatically when power is returned?
There is a menu entry in the engery control panel in MacOS, its called server settings.
I have a PDU power cycling unit hooked up to the G4, so when/if the machine crashes, I can cycle the power remotely. Unfortunately at this moment when the power is turned off on the machine, then turned back on, the machine will not startup unless the power button is pressed :(
Also, the G4 has been experiencing intermittent lockups during the past week (Machine has been up and running for several months). All it is running that is being used is mysql. My guess is that the lockups are probably related to memory chip problems...any ideas?
It could be a hardware problem, if you changed nothing else (kernel updates or other software updates). You could put "setterm -blank 0" in your /etc/init.d/boot.local and switch to a text console after bootup. It could be that it jumps into the xmon debugger. If this is the case, write down the pc and lr values. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
