PPC SUSE 7.1 installation problem

PPC SUSE 7.1 installation problem

Post by Jaime Mante » Thu, 12 Jul 2001 12:39:13



I am trying to install Suse 7.1 ppc edition on a G4 with two cpu's and
a cinema display.  I see on the SUSE support site that this
configuration
needs a "special kernel".  I am trying to find specific instructions on
how to install suse 7.1 on this system but only find terse descriptions.
Anybody have a good reference or step by step installation guide to
install suse 7.1 on a dual cpu G4 with a cinema display?  Or am I just
out of luck?

TIA,
Jaime

AFAIK a single processor kernel should run on your computer, so I'd start
with that and later compile a SMP kernel yourself.

Try the FTP installation, if you dont need ppp or such things to connect to
the net. Works like a charm.

1. SuSe Linux PPC 7.1

Greetings,

could any one mail me a complete directory listing of the SuSe installation
CD in order for me to be able to generate a cd of my own, now that SuSe does
not want to provide ISO images.... :-)

Thanks in advance....
