Actually, instead of using BootX, I'm using miBoot (I think it's just cool
to see the penguin on the Mac), after having copied vmlinux and the ramdisk
to the HFS partition, along with making changes to the boot.conf file.
Getting into the installer isn't a problem.  Is that what you mean?  After
the initial boot-up, I have the option of selecting the method of install,
and I have, so far, chosen the HTTP server option.  Then the graphical (or
text, depending on which I choose) installer loads, and I'm off and
running/stumbling until it's time to find hdlists.  I guess this plan won't
work for now.  I'll just have to burn the CDs.  Unfortunately, I don't have
the space on the 7500 to mount the images.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll just put this on hold until I am able to burn
the CDs.

original ibook SE 366

[deibhaid]

Would someone be willing to send me their XF86Config for the original
ibook SE?  I have been trying various XF86Config files and One of them
actually did have some result, although obviously I had the wrong
horizontal and vertical sync.

Again it is the graphite iBook SE 366(pre-firewire)

Mandrkae 8.0 PPC is fairly new.  This is the only mailing list for it.
If nobody is answering it's pretty much a given that nobody knows the
answer the your question.  Running XFree86 shouldn't be signifcantly
different on linuxppc from Mandrake.  More than likely all you need is a
XF86Config file for your video hardware.

Why would I direct it there?

I'm using Mandrake 8 PPC, Not LinuxPPC.

Maybe I should clarify.  Where on Mandrake's conglomerate of websites and email list 
would I possibly get an answer to the question:

"How do I use XFree86 on a Power Mac 4400?"

xpmac is slow, unstable, and makes a bunch of garbage show on my screen.

Re: update on beige G3 bottx issues

[Wijnand Rietman]

Hi,

though I'm still having difficulties installing Mandrake-PPC myself (due to
partitioning problems) I maybe can help you out a bit. The machine you want
to install is a "new world" machine, right? I suggest you should use yaboot
to boot your system. I think that the option root device: /dev/ram3 is the
driver you need to create the ramdisk.

Greetings, Wijnand.

update on beige G3 bottx issues

[Xavier]

Ok, this is where I stand.

After starting bootx, I choose the file all.gz.  I set the ramdisk size 
as 32000.  I choose vmlinux as my kernel.

Whatever I put into my command arguments is ignored, including 
"install-text" or "text".  (Unless of course, they're not being ignored, 
but just makes no difference to the problem.)

Immediatly after clicking linux the system starts up, shows me the name 
of the kernel, says it is beginning boot and freezes there, in a black 
screen with some system information.

Choosing "no video driver" gets me a little farther, to finishing second 
stage install, but not to the Mandrake install program.

Stew mentioned that he had a setting:

root device: /dev/ram3

I have no idea what this is.  There are no parameters for me to set to 
the above, and I'm not sure what that means anyway.

These troubles may or may not be related to my video card.  If that was 
the case, it would seem that text install should work, but it's not.

-Paul Rodriguez

PS  I did have some trouble booting my machine after adding the kernels 
from the Mandrake cd to the bootx folder, but that went away.

Archives?

[David Chart]

Are there archives for this list anywhere? The link from the mailing list 
page seems to be for the i386 archives.

I'm currently trying to install Mandrake 8.0 on a '99 iMac DV SE, and I'm 
having a lot of problems. One appears to be a fairly serious bug in DrakX, 
so I want to check the archives to see if it's known. (It's not in the bug 
database, as fas as I can tell.)

Thanks.
