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.
Hi Luciano I think this list is pretty much dead now, since the openSuSE project all but stopped PPC development in 2009. I'd forgotten I was still subscribed! The last OSL version I managed to install (on an iMac G5) was 11.0 which was a few years ago now and no longer supported. I don't think there has been anything installable since, though factory upgrading may work. To work through the proxy try the form http://user:password@rest_of_url (or ftp:// ditto) - this usually works for me. As far as bugzilla goes, I wouldn't bother. And your English is much much better than my Italian! -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
