ata 66 and blue and white g3
by james rooker 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I have already posted this on some yellowdog mailling lists. My issue is just as applicable to fedora ppc so trying here as well. I have a blue and white 400Mhz G3 with 1 20gb Western Digital HD and 1 Maxtor 300gb HD. I am running the 20gb drive as the boot drive with MacOSX Tiger. Without any patches the 300gb drive is seen as a 137gb drive -- With Intech's ATA HD patch -- I can set multiple 137gb partitions and use almost the entire 300gb. I would like to set this machine up dual boot -- MacOSX and Fedora ppc linux. However with both Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5 ppc installers -- I can boot the machine just fine and run the installer to the partitioning stage -- but it never actually writes any linux packages to the HD at all the installer locks up when I try to write partitions to either drive ... I could get an ATA controller card for this machine but thus far those run between $79-$199 from what I have seen. Does anyone know of a patch that will make the Fedora ppc installer work properly or of an ATA controller card for $50 or less that would work for this machine?? I have also heard that either Fedora Core 5 or 6 had some software built in that would circumvent the 137gb partition limit -- is this true?? Thanks for your help. James Rooker

Partitioning when installing FC6 on Mactel
by Carles Cufi 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi all, Hope this is not off topic since this regards Fedora on Mactel. I was reading this Wiki page on Fedora on Mactel: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraOnMactel I used BootCamp to resize my Mac OS X partition and then rebooted into the Fedora Core 6 installer. When you run the anaconda installer, it offers you several options: - Remove all partitions and autopartition - Remove all Linux partitions and autopartition - Autopartition on free space If I use the custom mode to see what partitions are there I see: VFAT HFS+ Free Space (very small) Foreign (created by BootCamp) So given that there are no Linux partitions and 1 Foreign partition, what option should I use to autopartition? Should I delete the Foreign partition first? Thanks in advance! Carles ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?

nintendo wii and fedora ppc
by james rooker 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

I know a lot of people have been talking on this list about Sony's PS3 and ppc linux after the YellowDog announcement and all...I have also been doing some reading about Nintendo's new Wii console. Looks like it has 512mb ram -- USB slots - A DVD -- and is already running some Nintendo customized form of linux on the ppc based Broadway CPU. It will apparently use Opera for its web browser...What I cannot seem to determine from the info available is whether the Linux it uses is locked down in some form -- like it is on Tivo or the Linksys WRT Wireless routers. I also have not been able to find out whether it actually has a hard drive or not...I know that a usb hd could be hooked to it... Does anybody have plans to try fedora ppc on the Nintendo Wii?? It does appear to be closer to a generic ppc computer from the specs and from what I have been able to gather about it... James Rooker.

Fedora/PowerPC on PlayStation 3
by David Woodhouse 21 Nov '06

Go Fedora/PPC .... http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/fedora-linux-up-and-running-on-playstati… Not officially supported yet but we should have a build of FC6+updates to install on it some time soon just as we did FC4+updates for the Pegasos II, and of course we intend FC7 to support it out of the box. There are other new PowerPC machines in the works too. Who needs Apple? :) -- dwmw2

FC6 kernel BUG when going to sleep
by Charles-Edouard Ruault 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Since i got no reply since my post last week, i'm resending since the problem is real here :( --------- Hi All, i'm running Fedora core 6 on a power book G4. I'm running the latest kernel. I noticed problems after going to sleep/wakeup ( i've had applications stuck waiting on futexes , weird behaviours that disappeard after a reboot, implying badly messed up kernel structures ). I've got the following logs in /var/log/messages yesterday after going to sleep for the first time after upgrading to the latest kernel ( Linux kaluha 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 #1 Fri Nov 10 12:40:25 EST 2006 ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux ) From the logs i understand that the following is happening: i'm closing the lid; pmud tries to put the system to sleep then comes the BUG, It somehow causes a waekup of the video card , network card , hard drive etc ... but then another crash :( then nothing ( sleep with all devices enabled ? ), until the wakeup this morning .... This sounds pretty messed up . Is anyone else experimenting these problems ?
