Hi. I've set up YDL (4.0.1) on a Titanium Power Book with three operating systems (YDL/OsX/Os9). When I first installed YDL I was able to run MOL fine. But I had to go into native OS X (since there's some things that you can't so under MOL, like run virtual PC). I noticed while I was there that somehow the top level directories of the OsX and Os9 partitions were 'locked'. This didn't suit me [and I wondered why this had happened -> it could only have been MOL] so I unlocked them. Now MOL hangs at startup (~100% CPU usage, video window with nothing in it, completely unusable system if I go to <CTRL><ALT><F8>, zero progress/disk activity, have to kill the processes lo leave) and never boots (either OsX or Os9). The only thing I could have done (AFAIK) to break it was change the permissions (and possibly the ownership) on the volume directories (as seen from the disk icons in Finder). Does anyone know why this might have happened and if there's any fix?
Also, I find that if I'm running from the battery the silly thing goes to sleep (all too soon). After that happens it won't wake up (a reset is required). Under gnome, how do I change the timeout so it won't sleep so soon? Do I have to mess around with the APM daemon (or prevent that service from starting)? I'm presuming that there isn't anyway to make it wake from sleep properly. Has anyone used an Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480 (PCMCIA SCSI) under YDL? I get the screen breaking into that little monitor window [presumably heralds a kernel panic or similar] if I plug it in (or have it inserted during power up) even though PCMCIA tools are installed. I tried to compile AdvanceMAME on the machine but it died a long way into the process through an obscure problem (which I don't quirte recall). Has anyone successfully compiled this under YDL? 'Everything' from YDL 4.0.1 is installed. On the plus side, I found a configuration for the airport card that works from boot, and am happily printing from an airport<->SMB connection which I found pleasantly surprising since I have PCs that won't print from a wired connection to the machine the printer's connected to (Norton Internet Security has made it almost impossible to connect to the machine...). The same machine provides internet connection sharing OK. cheers Jonathan Pratt _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
