[opensuse-ppc] Sleep LED misused on 10.2 (iBook G3)
by Karl Eichwalder 27 Apr '12

The iBook G3 come with a white LED that's active if the device sleeps. On 10.2 during installation you seem to misuse it to signal hard disk activity. How can I disable it? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Factory openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0022-Media.iso

Hello all again! having lost my mac boot partition few days ago, one of the first tries I did to fix was to "upgrade" to factory version. So I tryed to boot the openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0022-Media.iso and tried to install, even if I noticed that the volume is labelled "FIXME". Indeed it does not install. I stumbled into two problems: it doesn't work through a squid proxy and it doesn't see my ATA hard disk at all. The first problem could be easily bypasswd by hooking the mac directly to the internet. The second is something that I don't know if I can do something about. Reverting to good old 11.1 release I see nothing labeled "ata" if i issue an lsmod command, so I don't know which driver is to blame (sungem?). Is there something I should do to help fixing that? Should I file a report to bugzilla? Thanks again, and excuse my poor english, Luciano Mannucci. -- /"\ /Via A.

[opensuse-ppc] Yaboot
by Luciano Mannucci 09 Mar '11

Hello All! I have a Powerpc G4 @ 1 GHz with opensuse 11.1 PPC and I did destroy my yaboot partition. So recovering at least some control was'nt easy: I managed to reboot from the old ISO installation DVD but it complains about modules it cannot find, because the kernel release has changed meanwhile. To reset the machine to e reasonable state I think I have to restore a yaboot and yaboot.conf of some kind on the mac boot partition and bless(8) it in macOsX. I tried to launch "lilo" to achieve this, but it complains about the "hda9" partition beeing read-only. Anyone has ideas how I should proceed? Many thanks to all in advance, Luciano Mannucci. -- /"\ /Via A.
