I installed SuSE Linux for at least 4-500 times, but not on PPC. I'm mostly interested in the booting part. What did you set in YaST during installation, and how did you boot later on? CzP |

ok heres what I got so far and where im stuck step 1 I put in the boot command boot cd suseboot/inst32 all is good and the cd begins to boot but then I gett the error that my computer does not fulfill all req. for graphical installation??? I hit ok and proceed I select new installation heres where I get into a problem big prob is the partitioning. If I had a complete hardrive I wanted to put it on probly be ok but because I was it to create a partition off the other 23megs left on harddrive I goto change partitioning create custion part. settings ok figure out problem this time aroudn gotta goto 1: instead of custion paARTITION for some reason which gives me an error of no primary or etended partitions can be made even though there is space go firgure ok nevermind when I sellect 6: which is 23.5 GB of unnassigned space I get the error to few partitions are marked for removal to install linux select mor partitions rofl SO im kinda stuck I am goignt o be getting a second hardrive, but thats not immediate. maybe I can find an old 6 gig to use real quick to see what it does with mutiple hardrives. THat is unless you ahve any ideas this real strange as i never had this problem with debians install/ Paul T. Silva ok i found a 4 gig hardrive to test it out with. when I get the partitioning done I then go back to the installation settings amd I go accept and I get the error THe propasal contains an error that must be resolved before continuing. only error I see hitting alt and the arrow is it cant find fd0. WHich I dont have a floppy drive and most peg users dont. Or is there another possiblitly? |

Partitioning is still not supposed to work. See documents under http://www.opensuse.org/POWER@SUSE. Here is what I did: My Peg arrived with Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo preinstalled. It has 'Amiga' partitioning sheme, and /dev/hda1 is ext2 with the file 'menu', the boot menu. I booted with 'boot cd suseboot/inst32' from OpenFirmware. I chose not to install a boot manager, as it wanted to make it's own /boot partition. In the partitioner, expert partitioner, and set /dev/hda4 (the Ubuntu partition) to format as '/'. Graphic installation does not seem to work, only text based. Did everyting else, as usual during a 'normal' SuSE install. After CD1 there is a reboot. I used CD1 again for booting, but instead of starting another installation, there is a menu for 'other', where one can choose to boot existing installation. I choose my SuSE partition, booted and finished installation. Here came some experiments I had, but did not work. What worked for booting is documented at http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_pegasos I used: mkzimage \ --board chrp \ --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux \ --initrd /boot/initrd \ --cmdline "root=/dev/hda4 quiet sysrq=1" \ --output /pegboot And then mounted /dev/hda1 to /mnt, vi /mnt/menu, and replaced the menu entry for Ubuntu with SuSE at both places: rewrote the menu text, and replaced the entry for the Ubuntu kernel: hd:3 pegboot And also made SuSE the default  I'm fighting now with the mouse, I couldn't get gpm and X to work (X on Gentto and Debian work fine). |

The description at http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_pegasos just got updated. It describes about the same, as I did, but probably a bit more clearly  One note: no PS2 mouse worked for me, only my USB mouse was useable for X. |
