Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to install SuSE Linux 7.3 on an original PowerBook G3. It is the one that has the same form factor as the PB 3400 but has a G3 instead and went by the code-name of "kanga" when it was released. I am following the "Old World" instructions from the manual and am first booting into MacOS (8.6) and then running BootX from the suseboot folder on the CD to start the installation. In BootX I am choosing the "install-oldworld" kernel. The ramdisk size parameter is defaulting to 8192. I've been checking the 'No Video Driver" box and have been setting the "more kernel arguments" field to "root=/dev/fd0". When I click the SuSE Linux button in BootX the machine reboots and the kernel appears to be starting. I get Tux in the upper left corner and a lot of the usual sort of messages that show up early in the Linux boot process. (I can type them in if anyone would find them beneficial.) The last line displayed is "ide: Assuming 33 MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx". At this point the machine just hangs and the only thing to do is a CTRL, Apple, Power to reboot. I've tried a number of different settings in BootX. It seems to me as though it is not finding any sort of root filesystem to continue with the boot process. As such I've tried setting the additional kernal parameter to root=/dev/hda, hdb, hdc, and so on but always with the same results. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to get some use out of this laptop since it isn't supported by MacOS X. Thank you in advance, Terry Longrie
