[SLE] Anyone experiencing Mac OS problems with PowerPC 6.4?
I'm not sure yet if I have some sort of conflict between SuSE and my Mac OS 8.6 but when booting back into the Mac after using Linux, and frequently on start up now, we get right to the end of the start up sequence and my Mac freezes. Eudora, usually pretty stable on my Mac has frozen and we've had a number of system bombs. I've temporarily removed the BootX extension and vmlinux file to see if things improve. Neither Disk First Aid or Disk Warrior report any problems. Anyone else experienced something similar? Also, when I rebuilt the desktop on the Mac just now Linux dialog appeared on the screen during the start up sequence while I was holding the alt+Cmnd keys down - this is before the BootX window appeared. Anyone else seen this? If anyone else is using the PowerPC version of SuSE on a Mac I'd be interested to know what they think of it and if they have managed to fully configure it. I haven't yet managed to get SuSE to recognise or connect to my ethernet connected Epson printer or Global Village Modem. Has anyone had any success at doing this?

Sorry, I am not Mac Expert. Have you tried to post this message to suse-ppc@suse.com? This might be a better forum for mac-related questions.

Hi If you are talking about warm booting .. ie shutown reboot now etc. there was a bug in macs that caused them not to initialise the BIOS correctly on warm boot. I'm not sure if it still exists since we dumped all our mac crap :) The solution was to shutdown halt now, switch off... bounce up and down 3 times, do one sumersalt (sp) then switch back on again.
