Re: dual g4 install - progress

2003-06-05 Thread Isaac
Just to share the experience...

Moving the drive to the ATA-66 bus allowed me to complete the install and then 
boot it up. XFDrake then got the GUI working (but now the consoles are 
invisible if XFree is up, odd)

Note: there appears to be a bug in the text installer because I selected the 
benh kernel (in individual package selection), but it was not installed.  I 
had to install it later with rpmdrake.

Now the next step is to move the drive back to the Ultra ATA bus. This will 
change the drive from /dev/hda to /dev/hde.

so to get past this, i have to change yaboot.conf to reflect the change in 
device and make the benh kernel default, change the open firmware 
boot-device, and /etc/fstab ... did i miss anything?

Yes.  Reported several times.  I don't believe any manual package 
selections in text install actually happen.

 Now the next step is to move the drive back to the Ultra ATA bus. This will 
 change the drive from /dev/hda to /dev/hde.

Sounds right.
