OK, thanks - I'm testing behind a firewall, so I have cloned the repo using rsync -avz --delete powerpc.opensuse.org::opensuse/ppc/factory/repo/oss/ . and made it available on a local ftp server. Booting NET ISO (build 0003) still (*) fails with "Insert CD number 1" but backing up to the configuration and specifying network install parameters (to local the server) loads the images and starts YaST. Yay! (*) This also occurred with OSL 11.0, previously run on this box. Same work-around. However: 2 problems immediately bite me. (NB the text that follows was transcribed manually and in a hurry, so may not be accurate, but the gist is there) Problem (1): SHA1 sum error: ftp://.../oss/boot/ppc/config Continue (Y/N). I said Y... Is this just me (maybe a corrupted image, but rsync is good at not doing that and was used for both transfers) or is it a bug? Problem (2): YaST then reports no hard disc, and getting a console with Alt-F2 and running "fdisk -l" confirms this. I assume the necessary module is not being loaded, but how do I find which one? I may be able to run OSL 11.0 again to see what it loads, if I can find the Hard Disc - or at least a gzipped image to create one. Sounds like a bug unless caused by (1) - I wonder if it's worth creating one in bugzilla? Hardware is a G3 "New world" iMac from 1999 (the iconic translucent blue model) ("G5" in my earlier message was a typo). 512M RAM, 333 MHz PPC CPU. I also have somewhere a MacBook from the same era, will try that too when I have time. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) Linux user # 439271 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
