YDL 4.1 is not working on OldWorld macs from what we get off the CDs/ISOs. The initrd is missing some important stuffs.. OldWorld is ugly :( Besides that I used it for a whole hour before the nano-icons on KDE's taskbar creeped me out. The clock applet vanished too. See this post for some details: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2006-March/020316.html This is the ramdisk I used on my OldWorld Beige G3: (5.8Mb download) http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=61552 You know this file is made with Ubuntu and is from a 2.6.12-10 kernel. I worked for me It should work for you too. Hey I am in Ubuntu right now so I am unable to test this but I think this command, with config tweaks so mkinitrd will put our much needed modules in, will output a proper initrd ramdisk. /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1 There must be a file somewhere to specify the modules that have to go in the ramdisk.. I say so because this is all I done to get my ramdisk mentioned above. So, check this wiki page out for clues on how to proceed. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/OldWorldMacs Let me know how it goes ok? _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
