Adaptec 2940U2W (Apple OEM) Linux Compatability
Hi, I have Adaptec 2940U2W (Apple OEM) SCSI Card which Apple bundled with G4 for a while. Anyone have experience with this card under Linux? Please note that Adaptec 2940U2W (Apple OEM) and retail Adaptec 2940U2W seem to have different formware, and thus, may have (or may not, I hope) compatability issues with Linux.

SOLVED MOL Crash (was: ReiserFS + MOL = Crash)
Hi, Finally, I solved really strange problem when MOL crashed if Linux partition formatted as ReiserFS volume. Although main is currently reformatted to ext2, the same problem did exists there, too, for some time. I am 95% sure ReiserFS was not a culprit (I will try ReiserFS/MOL this weekend anyway). The problem actually was that MOL has one of this kind of bug: a) parsing molrc; b) logical evaluation of hardware/configuration info (the most common is a typo like & instead of &&); c) using link to or temp copy of outdated molrc. I found one old copy of molrc in /usr/etc, although this file should be only in /etc. Solution: if you have hard MOL crash, and until this issue will be clarified and solved completely, I recommend manually remove all MOL files from /etc and /usr/lib/mol, and do ONLY MINIMAL changes in molrc. At least, it worked in my case, I have compiled MOL 0.9.58-1 and 0.9.59, with glibc 2.2 and 2.2.17, and all the time MOL worked fine in both console and X mode. * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ *

ReiserFS PPC + MacOnLinux = Crash
Hi, I just reformatted my root partition from ext2 to ReiserFS (I have single Linux partition), reinstalled Linux, and everything is OK except except MOL. I recompiled again both 2.4.2 kernel (with Endian-safe ReiserFS support) and MOL, stripped again NW ROM, changed MOL prefs, but nothing helped. I think the culprit is the ReiserFS partition where MOL keep its temp files, because I have the same setup as before, but it does not work anymore. Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Andrei

Anyway, printing from MacOS results PostScript error 8827 (I have selected correct PPD file, and printer, Tektronix Phaser 740L, has built-in PostScript L3 interpreter). 2) -- So, I went another way and edited Netatalk papd.conf file: Phaser740_Linux:\ :pr=lp1:\ :op=wes:\ :pd=/etc/PPD/TEK740L.PPD: The printer becomes visible via chooser, but again I've got PostScript error.

Instead of PostScript error appears another message "printer is not responding to request". I have checked spool directory permission (lp/lp), everything is OK. Of course, I restarted netatalk after each change of papd.conf file. Please help. Thanks in advance. Andrei

Printing Help Needed
Hi, I have two AppleTalk printers (LaserWriter 12/640 and Tektronix Phaser 740L), which needs to be working with Linux and Samba. I have created two printcap entries (shown below), spool directories, .paprc files inside spool directories, and updated papd.conf file.

Stupid Netatalk problem
Hi, I have installed Netatalk on my LinuxPPC box, configured it, but got a stupid problem. The Linux box is visible as AppleTalk device, but it refuses ALL passwords for ALL users (I am sure it rejects pw only). Could not figure out why. My configs looks like this (others are default): afpd.conf "Linux AppleShare IP" -tcp -ddp -setpassword -savepassword -uamlist uams_clrtxt.so AppleVolumes.default /home/ftp/ "FTP Folder" allow:andrei,@users,ftp,@public options:noadouble Please help. Thanks in advance. Andrei

HFS Boot with tbxi-Type OS Chooser
Hi, I am managed to install SuSE Linux on my FireWire iBook without much trouble (BTW, SuSE 7.0 CD also CANNOT be started on FW iBook, just like Debian 2.2r2 CD). However, I am still not giving up Debian. I suggest to explore the same technique I used to install SuSE for Debian, please let me know what do you think. After all, it works, it simple, and it do not require manual editing of open firmware variables, and I use this HFS partition for file exchange, too. Here how to do it. Create small HFS partition and put there fake system folder, yaboot, yaboot.conf and os-chooser. Stripped kernel sits on this partition, checks for hardware and loads installer. --- Yaboot.conf looks like: default = linux # (or default = install, during installation) timeout = 50 image = vmlinux label = install append = "ramdisk_size=64000 load_ramdisk=1 video=aty128fb:vmode:10" initrd = ramdisk.image.gz root = /dev/fd0 image = ultra0:10,/boot/vmlinux-2.1.18 label = linux append = "video=aty128fb:vmode:10" root = /dev/hda10 --- OS Chooser is actually TEXT file containing: iMac,1 PowerMac1,1 PowerBook1,1 PowerMac2,1 PowerMac3,1 PowerBook2,1 PowerBook3,1 PowerMac2,2 PowerBook2,2 PowerMac3,3 PowerMac5,1 PowerBook3,2 Linux/PPC Yaboot bootloader " get-key-map" " keyboard" open-dev $call-method dup 20 dump 5 + c@ 08 = if " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot ultra0:9,\\:tbxi" eval else " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot ultra0:12,\\yaboot" eval then 1010 ... blah blah blah --> Its type/creator should be changed to tbxi/chrp if you want to boot Linux. SPACE used during stratup to switch between MacOS and Linux. --- lilo.conf (LInux LOader configuration) boot = /dev/hda12 timeout = 100 activate default = linux bootfolder = suseboot image = /boot/vmlinux label = linux root = /dev/hda10 append = "load_ramdisk=1 video=aty128fb:vmode:10 " other = /dev/hda9 label = macos * * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski* * e-mail --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * *
