Which BETA kernel?
by Andrei Verovski 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi, Olaf, 1) Patches in BETA/sleep are against stock 2.4.6 or benh tree? 2) Which one proved to be more stable and less problematic: k_pmac or k_benh? Is sleep, firewire and ati video mirroring support the only advantage of benh kernel? Thanks. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

Dear All after upgrading to XFREE 4.1 I cannot see other fonts than Helvetica family. May you give me some hints to come back to the normality (having all fonts available) ?

mod_perl problem (R_PPC_REL14 relocation at 0x30391a9c out of range)
by Andrei Verovski 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi, It looks like there is some kind of dynamic linking problem (glibc related ?) with mod_perl and apache on SuSE PPC 7.1. Syntax error on line 202 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so into server: R_PPC_REL14 relocation at 0x30391a9c out of range I have reintsalled apache, apache modules, including mod_perl (but not perl package itself), run SuSEconfig, but nothing helped. Also, I have tried to turn off mod_php4 and mod_ssl. It seems mod_perl problem is not related to other apache modules. Other modules installed are contrib and status, anothers like dav have been turned in rc via YaST since they are not installed. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

Re: Cant get 7.1 to boot

Hi, >Yes, I even made a linux partition for SuSE 7.1 on the iMac, >initialising the drive etc, hoping that the boot would occur on start. Have you selected HFS boot partition (with fake System Folder) as startup disk? Does your os-chooser have type tbxi and creator chrp? If yes, please verify partition numbers specified in os-chooser. Also, try to remove os-chooser and set yaboot type tbxi and creator chrp in order to load yaboot without help of os-chooser. >I think that if someone had the firmware commands to allow a Linux only >boot up, to begin just prior to my putting CD1 into iMac, then my >problems would be over. Hold down the command+alt+o+f keys on startup, this will drop you into OpenFirmware. then boot ultra0:your_HFS_boot_partition_number,\suseboot\yaboot >I may have used HFS+ in the last attempt - this could explain some of >the failure. It should be HFS! >Although I selected 2.4 kernel as the one to use in YAST. Look in the /boot directory, then copy kernel image(s) into suseboot folder, and update your yaboot.conf accordingly. If you have selected 2.4 kernel in YaST it means that YaST will install 2.4 kernel, but it does not mean that YaST will update your yaboot.conf! Also, it may happen that Linux start, but cannot initialize video card properly. Ask someone who has the same iMac which kernel arguments may be required. PS. If you register your SuSE Linux, you will be eligible for free 60 days installation support. Why miss it? ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

>>> Hello, >>> I have tried for 2 weeks non stop to get SuSE 7.1 for ppc on my iMac >>> 350 running 256 ram and going by the book, nothing will allow 7.1 to >>> boot on its own. It always expects a reinstall. Hi, Please describe exactly your steps, what you have done and at what stage failure occur. Did you tried to boot Linux from HFS boot partition, not from CD? Try to install latest 2.4 kernel, then copy kernel image to HFS boot and add or change this in yaboot.conf default = vmlinux-2.4 image = vmlinux-2.4 label = vmlinux-2.4 root = /dev/hda10 append = "" Change "vmlinux-2.4" to your actual kernel image name. PS. Please make sure you have learned nature of Linux booting on new-world Mac. If you do not know this you will not be able to do anything but blind tinkering. Refer to my web site (Linux Tips & Tricks) for more info. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

Re: [suse-ppc] HFS Support

You could simply edit the /etc/fstab file and add something like the following: /dev/sdc /zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 This makes my SCSI ZIP accessible (3rd device on chain). I mount it with: mount /zip ----ORIGINAL---- Salut, On Wed, Jul 25, 2001 at 02:05:39PM -0500, todd marek wrote: > Hello- > When trying to mount my zip drive I receive the following message: > mount: fs type -hfs not supported by kernel > Do you have CONFIG_HFS_FS=y in your kernel configuration?
