Well, I finally got all my powerpc machines to boot off the network. Thanks to all those that helped. I'm planning on documenting the process, although I can't remember if it was Lagunitas IPA or Sierra Nevada Bigfoot.
This is on Gutsy, BTW. Well, one of three powerpc machines work. The newer iBook G4 works perfectly. The G3 iMac (eMac?) and the G4 Power Mac both boot but won't start X. If I log into root on the G4 Power Mac as root and simply run startx I get this in the xorg log: (II) VGA(0): initializing int10. (II) VGA(0): No legacy BIOS found -- trying PCI (II) Attempted to read BIOS 64KB from /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:10.0/rom: got 44KB Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X11/X(xf86SigHandler+0x94) [0x10093f44] 1: [0x100344] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so(LockLegacyVGA+0x50) [0xf815a70] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so(xf86ExtendedInitInt10+0x300) [0xf818670] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so [0xf916b00] 5: /usr/bin/X11/X(InitOutput+0xb08) [0x1006e2c8] 6: /usr/bin/X11/X(main+0x294) [0x1002e064] 7: /lib/libc.so.6 [0xfc79380] 8: /lib/libc.so.6 [0xfc795c4] Fatal server error: Caught signal 7. Server aborting I also looked at xorg.conf and it's using "vga" for the driver. Anyone seen this before? I doubt I can convince the school to use these machines in console mode only -- although I do feel the days of the GUI are numbered. lynx, mutt, and vim.
