Mac on Linux help
by Joseph Mesterhazy 28 Feb '05

Hello list, I've spent the last two days beating over MOL trying to get it to work with FC3 and the 767 DWMW2 kernel. The application builds fine, but the kernel section fails miserably. I saw a message to this list on the same subject in the archives, but it was not of any help. I found some patches for YellowDog users here: http://www.mail-archive.com/yellowdog- general(a)lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/msg00133.html and those helped get past some errors, but now the 'make modules' still fails when compiling ethertap.c and tun.c. I am wondering if anyone has had success building MOL with FC3/PPC? Joe -- Joe Mesterhazy ECpE UNIX Administrator 2101 Coover Hall, Iowa State University Ames, IA 50011 (515) 294-7359

Hang with ppc boot iso
by Ken Moffat 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hi, I'm not subscribed, so please CC me if appropriate. I finally got around to putting linux on my new iBook this week, and last night I thought I'd try loading FC3. Put the boot CD in, selected linux, the kernel started to load, and then the screen cleared as if it was changing to the framebuffer, but the box was dead. Screen backlight was on, not responding to keys (including the on/off button). Left it on battery in the hope it would run down and then I'd be able to eject the CD when I booted, but after about 15 minutes I realised the backlight was off and it responded to the on/off button. From looking at /proc/cpuinfo (I put ubuntu on earlier) it's using a 7447A clocked variously at 533 or 1066MHz, pvr 8003 0101, machine PowerBook6,5 Apologies if this is a known problem, but I couldn't see any links to point me to the correct bugzilla.

hi, sorry, i would not like cross-posting for the next few months. where should i post problems with "fedora core ppc 4 test" or with other fedora ppc testing applications ? in fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com ? in fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org ? it would be nice if these things are clear and announced for test1. ?? http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.90/ ?? and later for fedora core 4 ? in fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org ? fedora-ppc-list(a)redhat.com (does not exist) please, not fedora-list(a)redhat.com thanks for the clarification. http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/ 14 Mar test1 -- shrek-m -------- Original Message -------- Subject: OpenOffice.org 2 on PPC Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 18:01:53 +0000 From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2(a)infradead.org> To: fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org CC: caolanm(a)redhat.com I rebuilt Caolan's package for OpenOffice 1.9.77 from http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/openoffice.org2/SRPMS/ on PPC. It's in a yum repo at ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/fedora-ppc/OOo2/ It seems to work for me at first glance -- more testing could be useful. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Fedora-ppc mailing list Fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ppc

FC3 Installation on G5 comments
by Prarit Bhargava 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi everyone, I am not a subscriber so if you have any questions/comments about the behaviour I'm seeing, please feel free to send them to prarit(a)sgi.com. I've gone through Colin's steps to install FC3 on my G5 and came across these issues. FYI, I did an "Everything" install. 1. yabootconfig does not seem to translate the "--initrd" option into the /etc/yaboot.conf file. I specified yabootconfig -r /dev/hda9 -b /dev/hda12 --kernel boot/vmlinuz-* --initrd boot/initrd-* but my /etc/yaboot.conf file did not list an "initrd=/boot/initrd-*" option. Workaround: edit /etc/yaboot.conf and issue ybin command. 2. "Everything" install installs both the ppc64 kernel and the ppc32 kernel. Workaround: delete ppc32 kernels. 3. I had to turn off kudzu. Kudzu was doing something for about 10 mins before I finally gave up and CTRL-ALT-DEL'd the machine. The system did not hang or oops.... I haven't bothered to investigate any further. Workaround: enter "Interactive" setup, skip Kudzu. At system prompt, chkconfig kudzu off. Reboot. 4. I had to turn off cups Ditto. Workaround: enter "Interactive" setup, skip cups. At system prompt, chkconfig cups off. Reboot. In the end, I have a great FC3 system :) P.
