RS/6000 43p 140 does not boot (SuSE 7.1)
by Alexander Achenbach 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hello everybody. Did anyone manage to successfully boot Linux on an RS/6000 43p 140 ? I tried using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/7.1/unsorted/prep/43p_140/zImage.140.chrp and followed the instructions in the German SuSE manual (ie copied the image to an MS-DOS formatted floppy disk, renaming the image to "zimage" there). At the OpenFirmware prompt I typed boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 fake_initrd I also tried using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/zImage.prep and followed the instructions on http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/olh_ppc_43p140.html (ie copied the image as a raw disk image using dd). At the OpenFirmware prompt I typed boot floppy:,\zImage In BOTH cases, the symptoms are identical: The floppy is read (takes half a minute or so). The OpenFirmware cursor moves to the next line or the line after that. The system freezes (or reboots after a long time). (None of the IPL or memory messages ever appear.) So obviously, none of these approaches works for me. What is the difference between the images copied as raw disk images and those copied as files on an MS-DOS disk? Which approach is *supposed* to work? Both are declared as solutions for 140 43p. BTW: The firmware version of the machine I tried this on is TIG97251. Thanks in advance for any hints or solutions.

iMac Open Firmware update 4.1.9 compatibility question
by Phil Gray 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

I have a Dec 1999 g3 400 iMAc. Since I am about to install OSX 10.1 and OS 9.2, Apple indicates updating Firmware to 4.1.9 Anyone know if this will thwart my plans to install SuSe Linux 7.1 ? I read the following on the SuSE site, but it is a little vague: <<Apple Cronology * January 2001 * These machines have a newer firmware, the bootloader is unable to open the textmode * iMacs can be used with 7.1 * Cube, Titanium Powerbook G4 can be used with 7.1 * G4 can be used with 7.1, the Radeon and nVidia cards are unsupported, remove the SCSI card, onboard ethernet may not work * iBook2 works (unconfirmed), enter "boot cd:,\\yaboot" on the firmware prompt. * August 2000 * These machines have a newer firmware, the bootloader is unable to open the textmode * G4, Cube, iMac, iBook, Powerbook can be used with 7.0, kernel 2.2.18 recommended * the available Radeoncards are unsupported >> It seems to imply that the firmware on the newer macs is not compatible. Well if I update my older Mac with the latest Firmware update 4.1.9, it sounds like I may shoot my Linux installation plans in the foot! Anyone tried this? Thanks Phlyz

ide-scsi emulation freezes system
by Michael Engel 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Ide-scsi emulation has worked til kernel-2.4.7-pre3. With any newer kernel (I tried 2.4.10/2.4.12/2.4.16), mounting my ide-cdrom freezes the whole system. This must be ppc specific. My i386 system is working fine with 2.4.16. PPC platform is b&w g3. Has anyone on the list the same problem? Grüßli, Micha

This is XFree86 3.3.6, try /etc/X11/XF86Config. I think the X Server has problems on some chips with 24 bit. Try the command "fbset", you will get a line like that: geometry 640 480 640 480 16 The "16" is the color depth, if you have 24 then do a fbset -a -depth 8 Then run "sax2 -a". There is a line DefaultColorDepth in /etc/X11/XF86Config. change it from 8 to 15 and everything should be fine. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Hello, Personaly I received an old Powerbook G3 at work (year 1999 or after) Installation of SuSE 7.3PPC without problems (or almost). But X-server config with SAX2: problems. Here follows Xfree86.log.o, sorry if it is long: The ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI) is well detected. ... but it ends up with: Fatal server error: no screens found ... and no xserver (see end of script), not even at 600x400 resolution: nothing. Does anybody knows how to solve the problem I'll look at ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/supplementary/X/suse73/4.2.0/ http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_71_xf420.html tomorrow ... when I go to work.

CD-RW

Hi, I¹ve installed SuSE 7.3 on my G4/450. I¹ve changed the original CD with an ³Apple² CD-RW ( Matshita CW 7586). When i installed SuSE i¹ve got an problem to find CD2. I¹ve used /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi like SuSE said and edited the boot.local in the same way. The installation was fine, but now no CD will be shown. With cdrecord scanbus the device was found as a SCSI-device (it is IDE). What is wrong an how can i get my cd running ?? Thx a lot ! Flanders

Regarding the ims tt I am inpressed that you got one. It worked on the installation till yast restarted the machine. apparently yast2 does a poor default(vga ) if it does not find a card it wants. There is a note about this in the suse database. It worked perfectly in 7.1 , but again thanks for working on it. One other thought, do you need beta testers, some of the folks on this list would probably be helpful. > -----Original Message----- > From: Olaf Hering <olh(a)suse.de>@SUN > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:55 > To: AllanL > Cc: Bernd Kulawik; suse-ppc(a)suse.com > Subject: [suse-ppc] Re: RE:X 4.2 > > <<...OLE_Obj...>> > On Wed, Jan 30, AllanL(a)rccb.osis.gov wrote: > > > > > > > Is there any hope that ims twin turbo support will get fixed? > > There is hope.

Your problem is that you need at least the penguin on the console, X is another story. You may try "video=imsttfb" or play with the monitor resolutions in MacOS. And it seems there are 3 twin turbo versions around. Something with 128bit, a "simple" twin turbo and something else. I cant remember where I read that, but it was in the last days...

It is compiled against glibc 2.2, you have glibc 2.1.3. Just recompile the src.rpm. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Hello, Little problem My webserverSuSE7.2i386/Postfix/Cyrus-Imap on pentium/PC crashed I decided to install Postfix temporarily on a G3 Everything goes fine for the installation of SuSE 7.3 My /var/spool/mail mailboxes are filling up normally but ... Impossible to connect to the G3 server with kmail Impossible to make a POP connexion with the G3 server and to extract thus my mails from the mailbox. alain@lx93:~> telnet localhost 110 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused alain@lx93:~> But connexion to port 25 (SMTP) is possible.
