[opensuse-ppc] Call for testing
Yay, we have 12.2 code base build for Power [1]. So far we have about 50 packages failed to build and 70 unresolvable. Please give it a try. Core system should work.

Thanks for the effort. Should the 32-bit CD work for a PowerBook G4 Titanium? It fails to boot on my machine, which has Mint 9 dual booting with OS X 10.4. On power up, I get the normal "First Stage GNU/Linux Bootstrap" heading, followed by the normal "Press l for Linux", etc. When I choose "c" for CDROM, I get "Booting CDROM" that quickly results in a screen flash that looks like a restart, followed by a repeat of the bootstrap prompt. The second time, the machine hangs after the "Booting CDROM". One time, I got a "Catch FFFFFFFF" printed. When it hangs, the CPU is busy as the fan runs at high speed. Any other debugging that I can do? Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

So the default boot path is \\:tbxi. \\ means "blessed folder on the first HFS volume". :tbxi means "file in a folder with the tbxi file type". Now, the latter part is fine. If I manually say 0 > boot cd:,\suseboot\:tbxi then the 12.2 install DVD works just fine. However, it can not resolve \\. Adding a bit of debug code, an 11.1 DVD gives on "blessed folder" resolution: Blessed: 3c while the 12.2 one says: Blessed: 0 So for some reason the suseboot directory is not blessed. And that's why openBIOS fails to find it as \\. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Blessing of folders happens with hattrib -b. Where is the script that does the tbxi setting on os-chooser? The same script should also do hattrib -b on suseboot to get a working system directory.

It took a bit of searching to find out about booting through the open firmware. Once I figured that part out and using the work around from Alexander, I got it to boot and started the installation; however, it seems that DNS is not working. I was asked for the HTTP IP address - something that I do not know. The wired interface on the Mac is working. I do not have time to work on this problem at the moment, but will let you know what I find later.

Ok, the fix is known. The question is are we able to fix it? installation images made on x86 box using x86 kiwi. In order to fix it, we have to fix kiwi. Since 12.2(x86) is frozen now. It is almost not possible. The solution might be to prefer ppc kiwi in the project configuration.. Don't know if it possible at all.

Worksforme on the iBook G4.
I had to manually load pata_macio using expert mode through the rescue option to get my disks recognized. After that I got what I expected. I did not finish the installation as yaboot.conf and ybin on my Mint 9 installation are messed up, thus I could not rewrite the bootstrap there if something went wrong. I'll check that later.

That may be due to missing firmware. In addition, I have never found the built-in Airport device to be very reliable. I will try with my RTL8187L, which does not need external firmware.

Simple problem, simple solution. Yaboot can't handle ext4, so I reinstalled with ext3. That one yaboot can read.

We have can_yaboot_read funtion, which checks if yaboot is capable to read such fs. [[ "$fs" == @(ext2|ext3|msdos|vfat|reiserfs|iso9660|xfs) ]] || return 1; ext4 case handled in the same way, as root on lvm handled.

Just tried to install build13 under PowerVM LPAR (ext4). No luck so far. nvram complains that it cannot set value for bootinfo-linux (is it gone from OF?) After I've commented that string. bootloader installed without complains. But OF fails to find even yaboot. So the situation is worse than on pmac. Lets see if ext3 will succeed.

Aha! Perl-bootloader complains: SetLoaderType: Missing subarch for powerlilo.
I've seen that regularly on my power5 box the last months, and yet everythings seemed to work. ;) Andreas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Trying to debug ext4 on PowerVM. Bootloader seems installed fine, but OF doesn't see it. Anybody have an idea how pSeries firmware looking for yaboot to boot? Thanks, Dinar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
Made a progress here.. (Thanks to Olaf) The issue here is mkdosfs produces a fs, which is not compatible with the pSeries firmware. dosfsutils have to be fixed. On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 12:08 PM, Dinar Valeev <k0da@opensuse.org> wrote:
