I just wiped off my Yellow Dog Linux install and tried Mandrake and the
install was a breeze. I really like the ease of installation and the
automatic masquerading configuration is wonderful. Thanks for a great
product guys.

The "scratch" volume is just a place i use to do digital video editing.
There aren't any holes, that 2gb is at the end of the drive.
I'm letting it do the "simple" partition setup.
I have a 6.4, but i'm going to get an MCE case and use it in my expansion
bay. :D

Ack - Sorry, I guess that was not good advice. I forgot, you're on an
OldWorld machine - you don't actually need the initrd probably, if you had
a USB keyboard you see why it's around.
HFS support is as a module. I know early on it was left out, but I
thought it had gotten picked up by the tim
When you say "scratch volume" is it setup as some type of partition? If
there is any kind of "hole" in the partiion table, the installer get
confused as to which partition is which. The installer should be creating
as a minimum:
bootstrap
swap
"/"
Is /dev/hda14 the bootstrap? You czn get aro
Haven't seen Jeff reply, so I'll jump in (I think Jeff qualifies as our
resident OldWorld MandrakePPC expert though - he helped a lot in getting
fixes in place for these machines).
You'll need to use BootX to kick things off. It's on the 1st CD. Use the

It's a 400MHz model, 192MB, with an upgraded 20g

Partition 1 is OS 9.1, Partition 2 is a scratch

I have 2g for it to use. It grabs it, creates

My only success is to boot with install-text, does any one know if ATTO

I've installed LM8/PPC successfully on my iMac DV (Summer 2000) and I'd
like to install it now on an old Performa I have (603e) - what do I need
to do to get this rolling? From what I can tell, the Performa doesn't
have Open Firmware, so I need to do something else to boot ... I'm not

I get dumped into a console because I don't have the tdfx module..using
the fbdev module makes my screen half size with the colours all
wrong..gonna try some modules I downloaded earlier.
in the vmlinux packaged with the cd there doesn't seem to be support for
hfs filesystems, or is this somethin
I'm surprised it attempted the dual-head setup too ;^) This is probably
something you'll need to setup manually. If it was referring to
XFree68-FBDev, that is part of XF3, the new driver in XF4 is just fbdev.
I have no experience with xinerama, so I'm not much help there.

Phil,
As a test can you run the rescue mode and see if you get the same panic?
The if ot try inserting the SCSI module and perhaps try formatting the
partitions? It may be that the mac53c94 module is flakey. There was

Hi,
I've been trying to install the Beta1 on a borrowed PowerMac 7200, but
without success.
The system is a PowerPC 601 at 75MHz w/112MB RAM and a 500MB SCSI HD.
After manually choosing the "mac53c94.o" SCSI driver, the installation
started normally from CD. The problem occurs in DiskD
