https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374693 Summary: PPC Alpha-3 wont boot / Installer doesn't install boot- loader Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: osl2008@googlemail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Third Party Developer/Partner Installation on PPC based iMAC (PPC740, 350MHz, 512M RAM) goes smoothly but won't boot. Tried a number of times, with slightly different behaviour on occasions: Sometimes, at the proposal stage of installation, under 'booting', YaST incorrectly states that the boot partition is NFS and refuses to install the boot-loader. This is easily missed as the proposal is accepted anyway and installation starts, even though the system will not be able to be booted (except by chain from install CD). Other times, 'booting' states that the boot loader will be installed but when YaST completes stage 1 and goes for re-boot, no boot manager is present. Again, system can be booted by chain from install CD. Once booted, YaST boot manager can be started but immediately segfaults (either in X or curses mode). Tried using an ex-iMac HD (with MAC partition table) and an ex-PC unit with a 'normal' partition table. Also tried using Apple's HD preparation tool (e.g. on an OS-9 install CD) to prep the disc, none of these made any difference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
