Hello List!

I have searched the archives but haven't found a solution for my problem, so I turn to you. I am trying to install SuSE 7.3 for PPC on my Gravis TT (similar to Umax Pulsar or S900). A 7.0 version of suse worked before, but I don't have the cds anymore, so i tried an ftp install of 7.3. Unfortunately i get an error when I start BootX using the oldworld-install kernel. At the hardware detection the install stops.

Starting hardware detection...

...

scsi.2: ioctl

Do I need to add any commandos for the kernel to skip something?

It may help to pass hwinfo=-all as a kernel parameter.

I am somewhat lost here, so if you have any idea how I can get bootx to get me any further please let me know.

Thanks,

Stephan

Nonsense, it is:

hwprobe=-all Well, I was a little fast with my last reply. Hwprobe=all does not help anymore. It worked once, I tried to install but it failed because the ftp connection was lost during install, then I tried to start suse again using bootx and the hwprobe, but now it hangs at exactly the same hardware scan.

Is this the way it should be? Any help is greatly appreciated at this point now. Stephan
