I think a new thread is called for here.

As mentioned somewhere in the thread "Booting openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0003-Media.iso" I'm having trouble installing factory on my old 1999 G3 machine.

I can boot the NET image as described in that thread, using a local copy of the factory repo and vsftp. But YaST then reports no hard disc, and getting a console with Alt-F2 and running pdisk confirms this. I assume the necessary module is not being loaded, but not sure what to look for.

The hardware is just fine, running mac OS-X and Opensuse 11.0 if I boot the installed hard disc.

Running lspci offers very few likely interfaces for the hd, apart from several with "host bridge" in the name. Comparing the output from lsmod with that from OSL 11.0 yields few clues either.

If you have still oS11.0 you can run there hwinfo --disk and see which module is in use.

D'oh - I should have thought of that. With OSL 11.0, "hwinfo --disk" reports ide-pmac and ide-disk. Booting current factory and using "start shell before YaST" option, modprobe'ing these gives fatal not-found errors for both.

Hi, It seems CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC is needed for ppc kernel (32bit). ppc64 have this module built. On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 8:08 PM, Dinar Valeev wrote:
