Download the later Kernel from SuSE, extract it and rename it.
Change the yaboot to
image= vmlinux label=install root=/dev/what ever you drve is, mine is sda6 initrd=ramdisk.image.gz append="load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=64000 video=atyfb video=ofonly"
Have the CD in the drive and go for it. The kernel will find the SCSI drive (at least ATTO SCSI cards) the installation should proceed as normal.
Then after installation Start up with your Apple CD and edit the yaboot.conf file again
image = vmlinux label = linux root = /dev/sda9 append = "video=atyfb video=ofonly"
The append line is VERY important. DO NOT DO WHAT SuSE Say you should do :-) at their web site they propose to insert a this append line : "video=aty128fb:vmode22" it does not work on my machine, if it works on yours use it, it Is a better choice. Their solution loads the video driver, mine does not.
What kernel do you use? 2.2.18 switch to 1600x1024 when you specify vmode:22 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 does not, 2.4.2 should be ok again.
Gruss Olaf I am using 2.4.1, later tonight I am going to change to 2.4.2 :-)
