Hm, I picked up the VIA Rhine driver from the list but it doesnt continue. It says can't load driver or something like that. And there is only one driver for the VIA Rhine in the list. No idea.

Interesting. For me it loads the via-rhine driver automatically.

Again, please could you file a bug, and include the output of 'lspci' from a running system? Then we can get someone with a little more installer-fu to look at it.

Btw, if you come to #fedora-ppc on irc.freenode.net, we might be able to help with a little less latency.

At http://david.woodhou.se/fc4-pegasos-200 ... xx_eth.iso there's a driver disk which contains the mv643xx_eth.ko driver. If you boot with 'linux dd' at the boot: prompt, it should ask you for the driver disk and then let you load the module.

However, with the old firmware the GigE port seems to get a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00, and even with the new firmware and a more appropriate (but still not unique) MAC address, the installer doesn't seem to want to use it, for me. YMMV.

well had np with install, but after I cant get it to boot. Hopeign someone can give me a clue

I installed it on hda and used the auto partitioning. If i type

ok boot hd:0 /yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:0,/yaboot/yaboot.conf

I get nothing but if i type
ok boot hd:1 /yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:1,/yaboot/yaboot.conf

I get config file read 32768 bytes
config file error: toke is to long near line 0 in file /yaboot/yaboot.conf

then tells me wwelcome to yaboot with a

boot: prompt but wont load up any ideas?????

zephar123, could you boot from the CD into rescue mode ('linux rescue' at the boot: prompt) and show the contents of /boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf ?

Sorry for the delayed response; IRC (irc.freenode.net #fedora-ppc) or the mailing list (fedora-ppc@lists.infradead.org) would generally elicit a faster reply.

i can boot hte cd, but how do you boot the cd into rescue?

Assuming you're using the current CD, enter 'linux32 rescue' at the yaboot boot: prompt. You just need to add 'rescue' to the kernel's command line arguments.

I've just installed Fedora4 on Pegasos - everything works out of box and it's great, but I have a small suggestion - is it possible to include ASFS patches in next kernel versions (http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/)? I'm sure that lots of Linux/MOS users will be very happy about that

It needs to go into the upstream kernel, and then it'll turn up in Fedora fairly quickly after that.
