Hi there, I have installed SuSE 6.4 on a PowerMac 8500. This is overall a great product - and the support from SuSE folks through this mailing-list is great. I have troubles running MOL: the machine freezes after running startmol (it applies the patches, then freezes after having opened a black window with the text (approximate) "this resolution mignt not be supported.. hit the space bar to switch to the console". No way to switch to a text console with the keyboard. And the crash is really bad; at the next linux boot, I have to run fsck manually, which makes me nervous .. I tried various settings in molrc with the same result, including booting from the newworld ROM included in System 8.6 on the mac side Here are some questions: Has anybody seen the same behaviour? does it make sense to boot from the newworld ROM, or is it better to use the built-in ROM? Does MOL boots the Mac from the first partition in the blockdev statements in molrc? in molrc, in the mouse section, the reference to /dev/adbmouse is commented; does it needs to stay this way? If someone has successfully ran MOL on a 8500, could this person kindly send me his molrc file? Thanks in advance, Thierry
