Re: [suse-ppc] SuSE 7.3 PPC install onto RS/6000 7025 F50

11 Aug 2004

      Ok so I have found the workaround.

The only kernel which was able to boot is the 2.4.2 from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.2
zImage-2.4.2.chrp
ramdisk.image.chrp-prep.gz
As the kernel is too large to fit onto an FD I had to burn it onto a CD.
The ramdisk was dd onto an FD.
Then: 
boot cdrom:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=128000
console=ttyS0,9600

When the kernel was loaded I took out the kernel CD and replaced with
the first CD of the SuSE 7.3 PPC
...
From this point everything went as for a normal installation.
Cheers,
