OK, Mathieu asked me off-list about whether my USB key was HFS formatted, and I finally clicked! I had been doing dd ... of=/dev/sda1 whereas I should have been doing it to /dev/sda This of course makes all the difference, OpenFirmware was seeing a DOS-style partition scheme and getting

Re: G4 MacMini network boot of install media failing at system clock set

If your G4 mini is having trouble with the internal hard-drive, you might try installing to an external FireWire hard drive. Booting from FireWire is a supported feature of the NewWorld Mac OpenFirmware. While booting from USB is possible with some models, it’s not as well supported. My G4

G4 MacMini network boot of install media failing at system clock set

when it sets the system clock.    The last message displayed during boot of the installation media is:    [ 1.731730] rtc-generic rtc-generic : settng system clock to 2016-04-22 21:43:04 UTC   Or something like that.    It's a bit exciting to get this far and see it boot across the network

inaccurate system clock when HZ != 100

I've been running vanilla kernel.org kernels on my PowerMac 7600. With one of the recent 2.6.14-rcX versions, the default value for HZ could be set to 250 or 1000 for non-interactive machines, with 250 being suggested. So I started running that version, and I noticed that my system clock

System clock

Hi all, My system clock is losing about 15 minutes a week. Any ideas why this might be? A battery perhaps? Or is it normal? If I remember rightly OSX uses some sort of network time server to set the system clock. Is there an equivalent GNU/Linux compatible service out there? sebyte

Re: System clock

I'm experiencing the same problem, not only when coming back from suspend. ntp-server is doing all kinds of stuff, but seems to refuse to do anything with my clock, running ntpdate works. This problem was introduced since 2.6 for me. Plain ntp refuses to change the system clock if it's

system clock drift in Debian 3.0r2 (Woody) on PB G4

My system clock is losing more than one minute out of every five minutes. Here are my system details: Hardware: Powerbook G4 667 MHz Debian:3.0r2 (Woody), PowerPC Kernel:2.4.23 (benh) I have also seen this behavior under Yellow Dog Linux 3.0, which I believe is also running a 2.4.x

system clock runs too fast on pb12

Hi, thanks for your answers on my last posting. I now experienced that the system clock of my PowerBook 12 runs too fast. I'm adjusting it nearly once an hour using ntpdate now and it seems to change about +1m per hour. I hope this isn't a hardware problem. I run unstable and linux-2.4.20
