Hi All,
So I've gotten the latest core 3 boot.iso from 9/29 to load on my IBM
p615. I get past my original "Unrecoverable FP Unavailable Exception"
problem but in either graphical or text mode, the system just hangs,
no error msg just blank screen. Anyone else see this and/or know
what's going on?

Thanks,
Niki

I fixed some problems and put together an RPM with the free flash
player. It's not going to be able to play 100% of flash content, but
it's better than nothing.

If we really want _everything_ to work I suppose we need to look at
using the SWF libraries which are part of RealPlayer. We already know
how to use the RealPlayer libraries for audio decoding, after all...

Hi,

(i've already post this message to fedora-ppc@lists.ydl.net, but it seems
this list is closed. Sorry if you received it twice ...)

I was searching google for Linux on iSeries (i work for a IBM Business
partner in Belgium), and i found that in the Fedora Development branch it
exists a folder containing iSeries kernel. (like here :
http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ppc/iSeries/)
So my question is : is it possible now to install a Fedora on an IBM iSe=
ries ? If possible, how can i do this (i didn't find any doc on this) ?
I've setup several Redhat/Suse on iSeries but because i like Fedora (i've
also installed a lot of Fedora on xSeries - Intel Platforms) i was
wondering if setting up a Fedora on iSeries was possible.
Thanks for your answers (and comments)

PS : if i can help, i'd be happy to contribute in some way, for example
testing the setup procedure on a iSeries.

Best regards

No problem - we're just waiting for it to be shut down.  Sorry for the confusiion.

Yes rawhide generates pSeries/iSeries/mac images.

Yes it should be possible - it'll follow the same process as RHEL pretty much. First off make a mirror of the tree available at http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/ as rawhide is quite a moving target.  

I'll try and dig out some docs for you - I've not tried on iSeries but have installed rawhide on pSeries.

Could you give a bit more detail on what box you'd be installing?

Hi ,

The iSeries box on which i want to install Fedora is a iSeries 810 (Power
4). I've already installed a Redhat 7.1 and a Suse Entreprise 8.0 on this
machine (just for tests) in a LPAR.
How can i launch the Fedora Setup on such box ?
I remember that for the Redhat 7.1, i needed to
- copy the vmlinux file on the IFS (Integrated File System) of the iSeries
- configure the LPAR to boot from a STMF (Stream file) located in the root
of the iSeries file system
- Vary on (power on) the LPAR on the iSeries
- Kernel boots and launch the setup program (from that point, i configured
the LAN and choose to install from an NFS server)

So, do you think i just need for the Fedora to :
- copy the files located here :
http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ppc/iSeries
on my iSeries
- launch the LPAR like i did in the past for the Redhat 7.1 ?

Other question :

Is the Fedora PPC an official part of the Fedora project (i had a look on
the Fedora main site, but they're talking about Intel/X86-64 only).
And if it the case, can we hope that a real Fedora on iSeries/pSeries (i
meant, other than the Rawhide version) will be released ?

Thanks .

I have just installed Fedora Core-2 on my Powerbook G4, but 
I can't get sound to work.  For the install, I followed the
helpful instructions at:
   http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html
   http://lists.ydl.net/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2004-September/000180.html ,

and got sleep to work using 
   ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/dwmw2/fc2-mac/RPMS/pmud-0.10-1.1.ppc.rpm
However, I can't get sound to work.  The startup messages look like:

Does anyone know how to get sound to work?  I noticed that Colin

details.

I use alsa:

in /etc/modprobe.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac
install snd-powermac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-powermac && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-powermac

Note you'll have to unmute things when you've loaded the modules for the first
time, use alsamixer for this.

I spent some time last night toying with Mac On Linux, and I have
attached the diff containing the modifications to sheep.c that allowed
me to compile this successfully.

I also had to hand massage the
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.640/build/include/asm/setup.h
file, but that might be something strange on my end.

The modification that I had to make was..

Changing
#include <asm-m68k/setup.h>

to

#include <asm/setup.h>

I dont know what this might break, but I guess I'll find out

The patch for sheep.c is attached in unified diff format. Probably
patched from the wrong directory in an entirely wrong way... but maybe
it'll help someone.

Message-ID: <1098855768.606.8.camel@gaston>

Hi !

This is an experimental patch against 2.6.9. It concerns the ATI based
Aluminium PowerBook. The nVidia based ones aren't concerned at all, and
the iBook G4 will have to wait a bit more for me to get the video wakeup
code right.

It will add sleep (suspend-to-ram) support for these machines.

It's based on various tested bits but is untested on these machines in
it's current form, so let me know.

Ben.

Works for me, thanks. Works better if I have the attached patch too. 

Xorg doesn't seem to receive mouse events from the USB mouse after
resume, but 'od -t x1 /dev/input/mice' does continue to work after
resume. I'll investigate that one further.

So, finally upgraded the laptop from the .541 (2.6.8) to the latest:

Now, pmud from dwmw2's tree (built on FC2) installs fine, and the

This is me testing on an iBook 2.2 g3, with definite sleep support
previously (well, on-and-off, but it worked). Anyone else played with
it?

Message-ID: <1099270144.11676.7.camel@hermione.soho.bytebot.net>

Wade, and I have seen some corruption in inode 7. I.e. after a bad
reboot, you get inode 7 corruption errors, and fixing it with the backup
superblock doesn't seem to work, per se

While this isn't a problem when my laptop stays on for 15 days or so, it
does tend to require a reboot, and blam!

Wade has been able to reproduce it on two clean installs, and I after
much frustration the other day, decided to format the entire disk (well,
I wanted to reduce OS X's space and get it bumped to 10.3.5 :P), and did
a fully clean install

Passed -Fr to shutdown, ran fsck, and it worked fine (on a fully 100%
clean disk)

Otherwise, what's the cause for the inode 7 corruption and what's the
easy fix? Surely not logging into root console, running fsck and saying
yes to fixing things (or even fsck -y). Even fsck -b, and specifying the
backup superblock tends to give ultimate weirdness (and a non-booting
box)

I have tried a few things to fix this issue, but nothing seems to
work. Using a backup superblock didnt give me any luck.

I have installed ubuntu on this machine with the same partition layout
and the problem still persisted.

I'll be looking at doing another install sometime this week. After my
last attempt at fixing this issue it left my box in an unusable state.

Any ideas I should consider before doing this install to attempt to
find out exactly what is causing this issue ?

Kind regards
