I'm trying like heck to install SuSE 10 on an IBM pSeries (710)...but not having much (any) luck. During the install it provides two options for bootloaders, ppc or none. ppc doesn't work and if I choose none then...well...I can't boot to it! In fact, I haven't been able to even boot to the installed system from the CD install app.
Please disable boot loader install in yast, it can not work. After package install, use yast to boot into the installed system, instead of doing a fresh install or an upgrade.
Anyone installed 10.0 on this hardware yet? Where am I going wrong? I'm almost certain it has to do with my partition setup, but I've tried it with and without a boot partition - and I have created/kept the PReP partition (maybe I should blow it away and recreate).
This is mentioned here, http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_pseries You need to create a /etc/lilo.conf file to install the bootloader manually. The simplest way is to let the yast partitioner use the "whole disk". -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
