9.1 on ibook rev 1.1

Hash: SHA1

hello
I installed on my ibook rev 1.1, it works almost completely fine :)
I'll write an article about mdk 9.1 ppc on lea-linux.org hopefully :)

anyway, I installed with a 3 buttons usb mouse plugged in, and the installer 
didn't install the f11 f12 buttons emulation.
I added adb_buttons=103,111 in the append line of the kernel and ran ybin, but 
this did nothing. I tested with showkey, and f11 & f12 seem to be 87,88 now. 
but it didn't change anything.

can you please tell me what to do ?

thanks

no problem for me. 700 is fine, as I don't think people will (should ? ;) 
install mdk9 on an old mac, and 700mb cdr are cheap now.
and if we can have more that's good :)

ok I've reordered my partitions, and diskdrake is ok with that.
I'm currently installing, we'll see :p

what does it rely on ? /proc/partitions ? may be I could have a look in the 
code...

don't know how it happened ! I created them using "hard disk tool" under
MacOS 9 a long time ago (april 2000 !)

> There is an option within pdisk to reorder the partitions

if I use it, won't it destroy my partitions' content ?
if so, why not doing it automatically at install time so that the installer 
doesn't get confused ? (but may be the user will get confused if his/her 
partitions sequence changed...)

if I don't reorder my partitions, how can I install and have the right thing 
at the right place ?

thanks :)

beta2 on ibook rev1.1 ;)

Hello,
I've an iBook (the blue shell ;), the one wth a G3 300 and 6,4 Go HD.
I tried to install 9.1beta2, but encountered the same problem that formated my 
/home as swap under 8.2 (lol)

pdisk says (same under mdk 8.2 ppc and the installer) :
- -
[root@ibook root]# pdisk /dev/hda
Edit /dev/hda -

2: @ 118 for 36, type=0x
3: @ 192 for 20, type=0x701
4: @ 246 for 33, type=0xf8ff

Command (? for help):
- -

but the graphical installer get it wrong. It's ok up to the 10th partition, 
but when coming to linux partitions, It sees :
- - hda11 as a 1,4 Go partition (instead of 1000.4M)
- - hda12 as a 1000 Mo partition (instead of 128M of swap)
- - hda13 as a 128 Mo swap partition (instead of 1.5G)

so if I continue that way, it will silently format hda13 (my present /home as 
swap), and put /home on the 128Mo partition. 1.5G of swap is a bit luxury 
isn't it ? ;)

what can I do to help debug this ?

Under my working MDK 8.2 PPC I've this mounted :
[root@ibook root]# mount
/dev/hda11 on / type ext2 (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda13 on /home type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type supermount 
(ro,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-15)
/dev/hda9 on /mnt/ech type hfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43)

so pdisk seems not to be wrong.

I think I can workaround this by telling the installer to put / on hda11, 
/home on hda13 and swap on hda12, but I'm trying not to lose my /home this 
time :p so I'll wait for your ideas !

Thanks in advance

ibook 1st generation modem

2002-12-26 Thread Jice
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,
I'm using a mandrake 8.2 ppc (beta, sorry I didn't have time to upgrade) on a 
first genetation ibook (g3 300, 6.4Go, 64Mo upgd to 128Mo, ati128 mobility).
Well, at home I always connect through my LAN, but now I need to make the 
modem work, and I didn't manage how to do it.

I found I had to modprobe the macserial module, after that, the dmegs outputs 
these lines :
macserial: serial modem detected
PowerMac Z8530 serial driver version 2.0
tty00 at 0xc9947020 (irq = 22) is a Z8530 ESCC (internal modem)
tty01 at 0xc994e000 (irq = 50) is a Z8530 ESCC

Then I tried to use the modem, at /dev/ttyS0 (w.o. devfs) or /dev/tts/0 (devfs 
like). I've no minicom, nor did I bring the CDs with me, so I tried kppp 
(there's a functionnality to query the modem via the ATI hayes commands)

Unfortunately, no matter the way I try (tried ttyS1, other programs), the 
modem never responds. Kppp says "sorry, the modem doesn't respond", then one 
minute later pops up a box saying "modem query timed out".

I also tried to echo somme commands to the modem :
echo ATZ > /dev/tts/0
or
echo ATDT3611 > /dev/tts/0
but they do nothing (they terminate and give the hand back after 3 seconds)

Did I forget something ?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Looks like I'm the second french guy posting in this thread. Asnières, near
