Re: [suse-ppc] PPC Boot stopped working at all
Hi, Olaf
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
Did not tried. What this test supposed to reveal? If I type in OF boot hdx it seems OF starts to looking for elf. So its seems OF iteslf is not broken. I can put vmilinux and System.map on HFS boot and re-type yaboot.conf. os-chooser is OK because HFS boot is a startup partition and without space key down MacOS starts OK. My yaboot entry looked this way: # 2.4.2-SuSE-RaiserFS image = ultra0:10,/boot/vmlinux-2.4.2 label = linux-2.4.2 root = /dev/hda10 May be I should add sysmap = ultra0:10,/boot/System.map-2.4.2 ?
What yaboot version do you use? Does the version on CD1 work any better? You dont really need 1.2.1.reiser.
1.2.1 resierfs. I have kernel on ReiserFS /boot, so I am not sure non-resierfs yabot can do something. PS. I have reset OF with reset-all, but the problem still exists. I just could not figure out where it comes from. ******************************************************** * 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 * ********************************************************

sysmap loads the System.map into the kernel space, its supposed to help kernel debugging in xmon (map these numbers into function names). But it doesnt work and its disabled.

1.2.1 resierfs. I have kernel on ReiserFS /boot, so I am not sure non-resierfs yabot can do something.
Jeff noticed some strange memory corruption with a ext2+reiserfs configuration, I guess that is related. It seems that it only happens when yaboot finds both a ext2 and a reiserfs partition on the drive. Its some sort of memory corruption. Solution for now is: use either reiser or ext2 only. if you have reiserfs only, put the kernel on the HFS partition.
PS. I have reset OF with reset-all, but the problem still exists. I just could not figure out where it comes from.
"reset-all" is something like "reboot" in OF, that doesnt change anything. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
