suse linux on new powerbook G4 667Mhz /512MB radeon
Hi all! Greeteings, and special respects to BEN from ben! i've rsynced his sources (benh-2.4.16) compiled and it workz! i've configured the radeonfb via sax2 without any changes to Xfree from SuSE PPC 7.1 - and it workz and - I think the system starts faster than on an 950Mhz Athlon. I'm working on an little howto but at first I want to send thankz to Olaf and Ben! great work boyz! the only feature i'm missing is a comfortable bootloader with the possibility to choose MACOS X (from hfs+ / ufs ) MACOS 9 (hfs+) and SuSELinux (hfs / ext2fs) is there anybody with positiv results on the new powerbook? but i can live with pressing command+alt+o+f an typing boot hdÖ11,benkern greetings from ben
Hi, thanks for your feedback Ben :) I've just installed a new suse 7.3 system on my Ti/550, and the installation worked fine! (even graphical! just with some strange colors) :) On Fri, Nov 30, 2001 at 01:28:24PM +0100, suse-ben@e9000.de wrote:

I second that... Well, for the moment I even cannot boot the new system at all without the suse cd's, but I'll check the other posts from suse.de on the list (just got the 7.3 3h ago...).

mmm, could you maybe put this file and the .config somewhere online ? :) I would be *very* interested to give it a try... For the boot process, if yaboot doesn't work, I would think about using a boot CD-rom just for that purpose. It's easier to press C during the boot than going via the Open firmware... Ben: have you been able to suspend the system under linux ? (not tried yet here).
