Hi, Attention SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1 users! 1) LILO PPC (from SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1) overwrites all corresponding items each time you run lilo command in terminal, including yaboot. Thus, if you load Linux kernel from ReiserFS partition your ReiserFS-enabled yaboot will be replaced with older version. The solution is to replace old yaboot which belongs to LILO PPC package (located in /boot directory) with ReiserFS enabled yaboot 1.2.1 or later. 2) Also, LILO PPC from SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1 assumes Linux as default OS. Thus, to boot MacOS, you need to press space key. This is not convenient if MacOS is your primary workspace environment. Solution: just swap these statements in os-chooser script and save backup copy, since LILO PPC overwrite it next time you run lilo command. Boots MacOS: " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:xx,\:tbxi" eval Boots Linux: " screen" output " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot hd:yy,\yaboot" eval PS. Olaf, please update LILO. For many newbies this is so not obvious. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski@bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************
