Finally got images for PPC with matching MD5 sums, and now I'm confused about booting. As suggested in various places, openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-NET-ppc.iso won't boot on my G3 iMac. Nor will openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso - this was more of a surprise.
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso is older than the DVD.iso, thats the reason why it does not boot on pmac.
Please boot copy the inst32 file (or the unpackaged linux32.gz and initrd32) to your existing installation, add it to the bootloader configuration and boot it. For an G3 iMac, the files in CD/suseboot/ or from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta5/PPC-HotFix/ should work.
I couldn't see what you meant by this but have now successfully booted using factory ISO build 0133 http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.2-NET-ppc-Build0... However I now have problems once the installation configuration is complete and install phase proper starts - it dies with error -3028 when setting a partition label - see bug 447782 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447782 Has *anyone* managed an iMac / PPC installation using 11.1-Beta5 / 5.1 / 5.2 ? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
