PPC Boot stopped working at all
Hi, I have encountered nasty problem with new-world PPC booting after using beta k_defit-2.4.6-5.rpm kernel (however, I am not sure beta 2.4.7pre3 was a culprit). I have Indigo iBook with ReiserFS root partition and SuSe 7.1, which worked for several months. After installing and using for about 2 hours latest SuSE 2.4.7pre3 kernel (k_defit-2.4.6-5.rpm) PPC boot seem to be completely screwed, I am always being throuwn in Open Firmware with default catch 300. However, the Linux itself is OK because I may boot from CD, and then boot installed Linux. Right now booting from HD is not possible with any kernel. I have checked HFS boot partition for corruption, zapped PRAM, replaced yabot, virtually nothing helps. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ******************************************************** * 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 * ********************************************************

Are you able to boot the vmlinux.pmac-elf via OF? hmount /dev/hdaX hcopy vmlinux.pmac-elf :linux humount reboot boot hd:X,linux root=/dev/hdaY What yaboot version do you use? Does the version on CD1 work any better? You dont really need 1.2.1.reiser. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
