Power Developer :: openSUSE 10.2 install guide

OK, it's ready now. As promised: it's a lot shorter :-)

Please give openSUSE 10.2 and this guide a try! It's the easiest to install and use Linux distribution now on Pegasos (yes, I also tested many others :-) )!

Yes, yaboot is in /, and it has the config file built in. So, just use:

Code:

boot hd:X yaboot

Where X = Linux_partition_number - 1

It's always possible to boot from the CD/DVD and start the installed system from there. Actually, this was the only way of installing 10.1 :)

Once you can login, just run 'lilo' as 'root' user, and 'yaboot' will be (re)installed.

If yaboot does not work for you, please use 'mkzimage' to create a bootable kernel image, as described in the 10.1 guide, I wrote.

Quote:

Yes i boot from DVD and run 'lilo'

look what i get

linux-wgp2:/home/marcel # lilo
running on pegasos
yaboot will use a buit-in yaboot.conf with SmartFirmware version 1.2
removed `/yaboot'
`/tmp/ppc_lilo/yaboot' -> `/yaboot'
set OF boot-device '/pci@80000000/ide@C,1/disk@0,0:5' does not work yet on Pegasos.
linux-wgp2:/home/marcel #

I think the OF is the problem

now i try too boot with yaboo if i can;t i try with mkzimage to make a boot kernel

openSUSE 10.2 was released almost a week ago, but I was so excited about my EFIKA, that I forgot to post about it :-) First of all, a big thank you to the openSUSE POWER team! Pegasos PPC / ODW is now fully supported by openSUSE! This means, that: * YaST partitioner module now fully handles Amiga partition tables, which is the recommended way of using a HDD on a Pegasos * The default partition type became ext3 (from ReiserFS), which means, that there is no need for a separate boot partition * Yaboot is used for booting, which makes it a lot more easy Summary: the guide can be a lot shorter, a lot less workarounds to list :-) I decided to keep a lot of content from the 10.1 version of the guide, as it can lessen the need to open the 'official' openSUSE documentation. If I wanted to list only Pegasos specific info, it would not fill a screen now! You can read it (will be hopefully ready this evening) at: http://en.opensuse.org/PegasosQuickStart102

I installed OpenSuse10.2 from DVD and i make a kernel for it and try to boot but not working. Just with DVD boot woks, i skip the instalation procedure and restart from there to enter in gnome.... Any tips where to put 'peg102suse' file to boot...i try with yaboot but i can't see any config for. My yaboot file is in root partition ,not in boot folder...it's good?

Post subject:	No yaboot ?
Hi I just updated to 10.2 from 10.1 fresh install. Good work! I don't seem to have yaboot ? Where does it live ? I expected it to be installed to / In your guide, please add a line for the updaters: remember to change bootloader to use yaboot or make a new disk image and modify your bootloader to use it. I forgot and couldn't understand why I could boot but my kernel didn't match any kernel modules: no net, no USB, etc etc. Very worrying!! Anyone make a nice RPM of ASFS module for 10.2 ? thanks koan

Sorry, I never tested upgrading, just fresh installs, as I always run on the latest development snapshot :) You are right, 'yaboot' should be in /. If it's not there, you can still use 'mkzimage', as in 10.1. I'll check out, how to put yaboot on an already installed system...
