[gentoo-ppc-user] Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
Hello! I have Gentoo Linux 2006.0 installed on a G4 iMac. The keyboard is of the Apple Extended type (109 keys) and the keymap is us. I have sucessfully tested the X configuration by X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf; the test grid shows up, but I cannot get rid of it. I have read everywhere that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace would do it, killing X and bringing me back to the console. But it just does not work for me, and the only way out is for me to use the power switch. Is anybody aware of any dificulties related to the Apple hardware? Thanks for your attention. Charles -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You may also want to take a look at this section of the Gentoo Handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml?part=4 I am still working hard at this; I even have burnt a new CD and reinstalled from it, but there is nothing doing. To state my problem again, it occurs on an G4 iMac with the Gentoo universal ppc-install-2005.1 disc. At the end of the boot process, just before the login, I get this: == * Starting syslog-ng ... [ ok ] * Starting gpm ... [ ok ] * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ] * Starting vixie-cron ...

[ ok ] * ERROR: Problem starting needed services. * netmount was not started. == And the corresponding bit in /var/log/messsages is: == Dec 1 11:00:55 sirrah rc-scripts: Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp Dec 1 11:01:55 sirrah dhcpcd[4718]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response Dec 1 11:01:55 sirrah cron[5378]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) Dec 1 11:01:56 sirrah rc-scripts: ERROR: Problem starting needed services.

But now what can I do to get this valid DHCP server response? There seems to be nothing about dhcp in the .config file: what then? does it suppose that I am already connected to the Net?

The option is CONFIG_TMPFS. Do NOT make this a module. This is kinda wild guess, but it sounds like you're missing kernel-support. Sorry for this late answer. Your guess was quite right and enabled me to get over that error. I then met various little problems that I was able to solve, but there remains a (hopefully) last one. The new error message is: Problem starting needed services netmount was not started. /etc/init.d/netmount start gives the same error. eth0 is not brought up and ifconfig lists only lo. What have I done wrong? Charles -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Gerardo Lisboa a écrit : Hi, Have you a separate boot partition using a ext2 fs? No. The opinions that I read so far are rather against it, so that I did not plan to use one. Thanks all the same for your suggestion; I shall keep it in mind, just in case. Cheers. Charles -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-ppc-user] Bootloader trouble
Hello! Having had no success with the 2005.1 disk, I am trying to reinstall Gentoo from 2005.0 on my G4 iMac. This had been all right before, but now I am meeting bootloader trouble. At my first attempt, ybin warned me that your kernel is too old. I wonder what the reference is, since this install has never seen the Web. However, I put in a more recent kernel (2.6.13.3), but it is also said to be too old, and I am still having the same trouble: what happens is that the bootloader menu (with l for linux, etc) does not show, and that the machine boots directly into Mac OS9. Here is my yaboot.conf file. Is there anything wrong i it that could explain this behaviour? ## yaboot.conf generated by yabootconfig 1.0.8 boot=/dev/hda12 device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: delay=15 timeout=30 macos=hd:10 macosx=hd:11 defaultos=macosx install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot enablecdboot enableofboot image=/boot/kernel-2.6.13.3 label=Linux root=/dev/hda15 partition=15 sysmap=/boot/System.map-2.6.13.3 read-only Thanks for all hints.
