HELP: CDROM access under kernel 2.4.7 and a few other questions
Hello, I'm in a bit of a catch 22. It seems that out-of-the-box Mac on Linux doesn't work for me on Suse 7.1 for the PPC. I've got a Titanium powerbook. On a fresh install, I get errors with Mac on Linux. The good news is that by upgrading my kernel to the one in the update/BETA section (2.4.7-12 or 2.4.9-benh) on the ftp site, Mac on Linux works great (plus I get better sound, can put the powerbook to sleep, etc.) Unfortunately though, for some reason the CDROM no longer works. When trying to do a mount I get "Wrong Medium Type". And by looking at the kernel messages I get "cdrom: pid 443 must open device O_NONBLOCK!" Any clues what's going on here? I've been using Linux on the X86 for quite some time, but on the PPC it's quite new for me. Does Suse have an office beta program? Where can I get the beta kernel source? The FTP directory only seems to contain compiled kernels. My impressions are that the docs/help for Suse are very good for the normal user, but I can't find too much for the developer. Thanks, Garrett Conaty
