HFS with FC4
by Erick Calder 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

hello everyone, I have a couple of FireWire drives connected to my MacMini, which is running FC4. the drives are formatted to contain HFS but when I try to mount, I get an error: # mount -t hfs /dev/sda /mnt/drive1 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so if I do # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table but I know the drive is ok because it comes up in my Powerbook running OSX... what am I missing? thanks - erick

Mini Help Xorg
by Kent Blake 14 Oct '05

So, I must be a idiot. I dont have all the details handy but if anyone could give me some tips, I would greatly appreciate it. Hardware : Mac Mini ati radeon 9200 32 MB Ram Apple Cinema Display 20" For the life of me I cannot get xorg to work!? After digging through the archives I have seen notes on fbdev ? What is this and can it make xorg work? I tried using up2date to see if xorg had any fixes, but got lost in all the text so just using version packaged with fedora core 4 Thanks in advance. Kent

restart on power failure
by Erick Calder 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

i have a MacMini running FC4 to which I want to connect an UPS. In case of power failure, the machine needs to come up by itself. If I were to run OSX I would click on the "Restart automatically after a power failure"... but on Fedora, how do I do it? it seems like that should be a BIOS option but from what I've read of the Mac boot-up process I can't figure out how to do it. thanks in advance - erick

Mac-on-Linux (MOL) on Fedra Core 4
by Robert Allerstorfer 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Hi, I have MacOS X and FC4-ppc (with the current 2.6.13 kernel) installed on my iBook G4 and now want to have MOL (http://maconlinux.org/) installed (latest version mol-0.9.71-preX). Has anybody done this successfully or is there a HowTo available anywhere? Unfortunately, the official fedora repos don't include mol-* SRPMs. Can the mol-kmods src.rpm for Yellowdog Linux 4.0 be used on FC4? thanks, rob. --
