FOLLOW-UP: Unable to boot SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition Installa tion CD on RS/6000 7025 F50
Hello All, This is a follow-up to Unable to boot SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition Installation CD on RS/6000 7025 F50 Software: SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition Hardware: RS/6000 7025 F50 (CHRP) Graphics Card: GXT120P Below are the actions which I am performing. Any help or ideas in getting this system up and running would be very much appreciated. I have purchased SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC Edition but am open to the use of other distributions. 1) Boot to the system management services and boot the 2nd cd of SuSE (bootable for CHRP systems) 2) The following message is displayed to my monitor (tty0) Welcome to Linux, Kernel 2.4.12 linked at : 0xc0000000 frame buffer at : 0xee000000 (phys), 0xd0000000 (log) klimit : 0xc03b5dac msr : 0x00003030 HID0 : 0xf001c086 3) The following are the last few lines displayed to the terminal (ttyS0) alloc_area_pte: page already exists clgen: Driver for Cirrus Logic based graphic boards, v1.9.9 Couldn't find PCI device matroxfb: Matrox Mystique 220 (PCI) detected matroxfb: cannot ioremap(EE000000, 8388608), matroxfb disabled Using unsupported 640x480 MTRX Mistique at 4x000000, depth=8, pitch=640 Machine check in kernel mode Caused by (from SRR1=81032): Machine check signal 4) This is as far as the kernel will go. If I remove the graphics adapter the kernel will not stop at this point and will begin to load the YaST but at this point the screen begins to refresh at an extremely slow rate. It takes several hours to redraw a full screen which makes YaST completely unusable. Thank you, Christophe Banal ** Sent via the linuxppc-workstation mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
SuSE friends, 1. How do you, if you can, restart the SuSE firewall. I am not using the personal firewall. There are three files in /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall_*. If I change certain rules do I only need to restart SuSEfirewall_final? 2. I want to mirror locally the PPC 7.3 updates and be able to run online update locally. Which files and directories do I need to mirror to allow this to work. Thanks Benjamin

/sbin/rcSuSEfirewall2 restart

OK, this touches on something I've never been able to figure out, and I'd be grateful if someone could further enlighten us. At boot time SuSEfirewall runs several times, called by several of the init.d's, while concurrently the network gets established by other calls to (in my case) dhcpcd and such. It seems important that these run in tandem and not, say, one at boot time and the other later. (For dhcpcd needs open ports to do its thing; and SuSEfirewall needs the assigned IP for some of the rules it makes.) So if I wanted to restart *both* at a later time (e.g. in the event that dhcpcd timed out at boot time), how should I proceed? I guess this ought to be doable without reboot... but I never found out how. Anyone?
