Public bug reported:
I have a PowerPC 7500 with enought disc and ram.
This machine (as the oldest powermacs) doesn´t have IDE interface
it has only SCSI disc interface. You can add special IDE cards compatible
with this computer but these cards simulate SCSI devices.
Then, when I install Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Debian, they can load the SCSI
subsystem as
a separate module from ramdisk. Then it is posible make a complete installation.
But when I try to boot the installed system, ( I do it with Bootx control panel
for macos) The kernel is loaded but it has not the scsi module integrated
and then it cannot continue and a message of root not found is showed.
I have been looking around for users with this proble and a solution, I have
finded a lot of users who get the same result but I haven´t could to find a
true solutions of other users.
I think it could be an easy solution to publish a version of the ppc kernel
compiled
with the scsi module integrated.
Thanks and best regards,
