[opensuse-ppc] powermac and ext4 as root fs (workaround)
Hi, it seems I've found a problem why neither root on lvm or ext4 doesn't work. It is just not implemented in our lilo (yaboot wrapper). To workaround that, you need to manually create /boot on ext2 (or ext3) during installation. I wonder if somebody tried openSUSE 11.1 or SLES11 with this scenario on powermac. In order to fix that we need to fix yast2-storage so it will put /boot on ext2 or ext3 partition. JFYI tested that on 12.2 (build 22). Should work on Factory as well. Have fun, Dinar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

SLES11 did/does not have ext4 support directly, so it probably did not show up. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

SLES11 did/does not have ext4 support directly, so it probably did not show up. But it supports lvm/btrfs, which should do basically the same.

Yeah, but pmac is also not supported on SLES11 :) Alex

But openSUSE 11.1. Actually I was wrong. We just need to copy initrd to hfs partition.

Got it. It is easier than I thought. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=792657 We just missing copy=true in case of pmac and ext4/lvm/btrfs. I'm not sure about assignee for that bug. Let see. On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Dinar Valeev <k0da@opensuse.org> wrote:

Isn't grub2 supposed to support powermac?
