Hi and wellcome,
If i boot to Linux installer (Old World, i use Bootx), ther was no harddisk found (all partitions have benn made previosly under MacOS). Is there a easyer way to get Linux installed than install it first on scsi harddisk, than compile the Kernel, reboot, copy all to the Partitions on Ide harddisk, change fstab, .... .
I have exactly the same problem on my beige G3 MT. 7.1 is not able to find any partitions, well it doesn't even recognise there is a hd on /dev/hda (master drive on first ide-bus) at all. As you discribe your problem, your way of solving it wouldn't work. If no partitions get's recognised how do you want to copy something onto it? Well, I have tried to partition the ide hd after I had squeezed an emergency install on a 230 MB SCSI-MO. I did not succeed. SuSE couldn't give a solution. They have been "trying" for one week now. I partitioned the ide drive with MacOS 9.1 and actualized the disk drivers. I am quite sure that the MacOS 9.1 partitioner screws up the partition table. At least I had installed once SuSE 6.4 on the very same system. But back then there was MacOS 8.1 the basic system. Maybe I soon can make a test with the MacOS 8.0 or 8.1 partitioner.
