I have Linux/PPC installed on this machine and am booting via yaboot. yaboot has a OF Prompt option so I was being lazy and rather than holding down that convoluted set of keys at boot I was just choosing it. However, if I do the keyboard entry into OF it works just fine with cd:\\yaboot Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how the rest of the install goes.

RE: RC1 installation report
It looks like mod_ssl is preventing apache from stsrting. Thant must be why the init script doestn't shut it down, because it never started.

I think you and I went over this in private mail when I patched mod_ssl. I never have been able to duplicate your error. I just went through the same set of patches in the pending security updates for 8.0 of apache/php, and I was able to connect to http://localhost as well as https://localhost? I'm experiencing the same problem on a different machine after a brand-new installation; this time it's an iMac. Can anyone on this list see if it's reproduceable on their machine? All I do is select the Web/FTP software group as seen here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/Test/Install/Reco/pages/reco10.ht ml Then from the desktop, try to access 127.0.0.1 in a web browser: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Demo/Mandrake8.0/QuickLook/pages/feat ures18.php3 If the browser displays an error message such as Could not connect to host, try uninstalling mod_ssl; then see if 127.0.0.1 displays Apache's default page. Thank you in advance for any help. I also don't see the long startup delay. Here is apachectl restart with mod_ssl installed: [root@localhost root]# apachectl restart Shutting down httpd-perl: [ OK ] Starting httpd-perl:[ OK ] Starting httpd: [ OK ] [ OK ] [ OK ] Those last two blank lines are where the delay is happening. And it's missing the step Shutting down httpd. -- Here is apachectl restart with the mod_ssl package removed: [root@localhost root]# apachectl restart Shutting down httpd-perl: [ OK ] Shutting down httpd:[ OK ] Starting httpd-perl:[ OK ] Starting httpd: [ OK ] [root@localhost root]# Bye, Phil

Re: RC1 installation report
Stew, Yep - I'll try this. But it'll have to wait until this afternoon/evening or tomorrow.

We did have a couple of OldWorld users on the list that gave me considerable help in getting things up to snuff for these machines. I don't have access to one myself, but hopefully things are in place. The only big difference is the boot technique.

KDE 2.2
Has anybody managed to build KDE 2.2 from the SRPMS? The only package that I have been able to get to cleanly compile is kdesupport. The rest all die during compiling, usually of a missing kde specific header file. I keep thinking there must be some bad dependancies somewhere, but... Everything else seems to compile nicely.

unable to install RC1 on G3 powerbook
The CD boots from open firmware with boot cd:\\yaboot Welcome to yaboot version 0.9 Wrong partition 1 signature Config file read, 2762 bytes Welcome to Mandrake Linux PPC! ... I suspect that that wrong partition 1 signature warning might be the cause of the problem described below. It occurs after Loading kernel... and Loading ramdisk... as well. My powerbook is a 500 MHz G3, purchased in the summer of 2000 with the translucent bronze keyboard. I chose install-text from the yaboot prompt. It goes through a mouse config, and then gives me No free space for 1MB bootstrap! Install will continue, but to boot your system, you'll need to create the bootstrap partition in DiskDrake and an OK button. Which i select. Next dialog: The DrakX Partitioning wizard found the following solutions: and two buttons. Use existing partition and Erase entire disk Fine, i think. Erase the disk. I backed up yellowdog before i started this. Next dialog: ALL existing partitions and their data will be lost on drive hda (11GB, IBM-DARA-212000) I picked OK. (And as an aside, i've gone through these dialogs several times, picking different options along the way. The all get me to the loop...) Next dialog (Heading is Error): An error occurred Need bootstrap partition to boot system!. -- might want to fix having both . and ! there with an OK button. and then we are back to the No free space for 1MB bootstrap!... dialog. So... how do i create a bootstrap partition. Also, at this point, i can't boot into either MacOS or my preexisting yellowdog partition. -- Chance is irrelevant. We will succeed. -- Seven of Nine
Re: G4/PCI round 2!
Hi, Ok I might have screwed this up in burning the CD because I couldn't boot by holding C, but no problem I used the open firmware to boot into yaboot. My PowerBook stopped booting from the CDs after I updated the firmware, so I don't think the inability to boot from a CD is necessarily an indication of a bad burn. This is where the problems are, I press enter to run the default install, it says Loading kernel then stops and says Image not found and goes back to boot. Anyone know where I went wrong? Did I burn the CD wrong or is something else not working? Instead of pressing enter to accept the default boot option, hit the tab key to display all the available boot options. I don't know what video card your Mac uses, but install-aty128fb works for me on both an iMac and Powerbook. Do any of them work for you? See ya' Phil By the way this is the Mandrake 8.0 rc1 that I am trying to install. it loads into yaboot and things go as follows boot:enter any option here Loading kernel... wrong partition 1 signature Image not found...try again Warning ! default_close called ! I have tried every option yet this is all I get, any ideas? Could I have burned the CD wrong? Mikael
