| 00:06.38 | Curalton | try fdisk -l /dev/hda first |
| 00:06.50 | Curalton | you must get the rootdevice |
| 00:08.16 | calkj | Curalton: the Linux partition is /dev/hda10 ... |
| 00:08.42 | calkj | Curalton: whic is (was) my / |
| 00:10.05 | Curalton | but does the rescue iso see it the same way? |
| 00:10.24 | Curalton | maybe it became hdb or something |
| 00:11.50 | calkj | well, fdisk started from the iso says it's /dev/hda10 |
| 00:28.58 | Curalton | then mount -t etc. should work |
| 00:29.05 | Curalton | whats the exact command? |
| 00:31.24 | calkj | mount -t ext3 /dev/hda10 /somewhere |
| 00:32.05 | Curalton | file -s /dev/hda10 says what? |
| 00:32.16 | Curalton | sounds like a sane command |
| 00:33.25 | calkj | haha: file: command not found (the shell from the iso is really small!) :-) |
| 00:36.41 | calkj | i don't wanna go for a reinstall! :-) |
| 00:37.01 | Curalton | what does /dev contain? |
| 00:37.44 | Curalton | you could do mknod /dev/hda10 b 3 10 to generate an hda10 entry |
| 00:38.01 | Curalton | don't worry, no need to reinstall, maybe just get a more complet rescue iso |
| 00:38.40 | Curalton | or try to boot from withing OS X, this way i installed debian - http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook/ |
| 00:39.05 | calkj | that's an woody ppc iso, sadly not supplying any "rescue" option at bootup... (checked the boot args) |
| 00:39.14 | calkj | (checking url...) |
| 00:40.04 | Curalton | woody.. hmmz |
| 00:40.09 | Curalton | ibook g3 or g4? |
| 00:42.57 | calkj | pismo g3 powerbook, just took the woody iso to install the verz vasic system, the did an upgrade to testing |
| 00:45.17 | Curalton | probably not too new |
| 00:45.30 | Curalton | ls -l /dev/hda* shows what? |
| 00:46.20 | calkj | just restarted withg a testing iso, a second please... |

| 01:16.04 | Curalton | is mknod available? |
| 01:16.09 | Curalton | which mknod |
| 01:16.40 | Curalton | and still, calkj, ls -l /dev/hda* shows what? |
| 01:19.19 | calkj | Curalton: which mknod gives nothing (i.e. not available), and ls -l /dev/hda* gives the full list including hda10 |

| 01:21.28 | nasboy | are there any distros with a quik boot CD? |
| 01:23.53 | Curalton | off then, nn |
| 01:27.34 | calkj | nasboy: u mean i should quik-boot from an apple partition and the execute ybin? |
| 01:27.54 | nasboy | no...I want a linux distro with QUIK instead of yaboot |
| 01:27.58 | nasboy | so I don't need OS9 |
| 01:28.43 | calkj | nasboy: ? I am happy with yaboot so i can use os9 and osx AND debian! |
| 01:29.32 | nasboy | I have an older mac so I need QUIK. Sorry, I wasn't answering your question. I was asking my own |
| 01:31.25 | calkj | well, i have an 3400c powerbook running quik, but i did the (hard) install with floppies :) |
| 01:32.34 | nasboy | I have a powerbook with no floppy |
| 01:34.55 | calkj | which one? |

| 08:12.33 | simonrvn | dead CPU. that sucks |
| 08:13.45 | Rama | Does anyone know what xev and showkey actually do ? |
| 08:14.13 | simonrvn | they show you keycodes for your keys... |
| 08:14.18 | pixelated | simonrvn: yeah and not entirely dead... i thought it was the SCSI bus... i put everything into my 9600 and it still was flakey... even tried a scsi on pci and it didnt get stable... replaced the G3-500 with the 604e@350Mhz and everything fell into place... |
| 08:14.39 | Rama | simonrvn: yeah, that's theory. But practically, the keycodes do not match at all |
| 08:14.46 | simonrvn | oh fuck ;( |
| 08:15.11 | Rama | simonrvn: and some keys evenhave no keycode in showkey but one in xev |
| 08:15.18 | Rama | some have three or four keycodes |
| 08:15.43 | simonrvn | um, and? |
| 08:15.44 | Rama | and some keycodes match two keys in showkey but not in xev |
| 08:15.51 | simonrvn | @lart Rama |
| 08:18.09 | Rama | Oh, I forgot : the "Apple" key has no keycode in showkey, 115 in xev, but I have to say "kexcode 125 =AltGr" in my map file for it to be mapped ! :p |
| 08:18.24 | pixelated | simonrvn: so now, i am using my 9600 at 350Mhz... |
| 08:19.58 | simonrvn | pixelated: :/ |
| 08:20.13 | simonrvn | 350 @ 604e even |
| 08:20.28 | simonrvn | that's still twice the speed of mine ;) |
| 08:20.32 | simonrvn | 185 |
| 08:20.44 | sloopy | simonrvn: heh... yeah true dat... |
| 08:21.07 | sloopy | and if you had the card it would be a win for you cause it is a G3 ZIF card... you could put your G3 in it :') |
| 08:21.21 | simonrvn | i look at it this way, at least you *have* a CPU to put in it |
| 08:22.17 | simonrvn | do you know what's wrong with it? and can you get an exchange or something from wherever you got it? |
| 08:22.31 | sloopy | yeah, beyond this 9600, next in line would be my 7500/604e@233Mhz, and then i have a 132Mhz 604 and a 100Mhz 601... |
| 08:24.04 | sloopy | i dunno whats wrong with it... i just know it makes the system very flakey... (one boot out of 20 would get to finder in the 8500, in the 9600 8.5,9.0.4, 9.1 wouldnt boot... 7.5.3, and 8.0 would boot 50% of the time... |
| 08:24.08 | simonrvn | i just wish they'd stuck with making mopre ZIFs |
| 08:24.57 | sloopy | yeah me too... |
| 08:25.14 | simonrvn | i assume you zapped pram, reinstall any firmware patches, etc. |
| 08:25.17 | simonrvn | +ed |
| 08:25.54 | sloopy | yeah zapped it until it thought it was the main course at KFC... in OF there were no patches... i was lazy and used bootx... |
| 08:26.14 | simonrvn | ok |
| 08:26.19 | sloopy | pulled all cards/ram/extravram and tested too... |
| 08:26.43 | sloopy | which was oh so fun in a 8500... i have pulled the mobo 12 times just today... |
| 08:26.44 | simonrvn | what would fry a cpu? |
| 08:27.01 | sloopy | usually static electricity, dirty power... |
| 08:27.03 | simonrvn | i *hate* taking apart an 8500. reminds me of 800s... |
| 08:27.12 | sloopy | or the big one... over heating... |
| 08:27.24 | simonrvn | which is why i have 3 fans in this one |
| 08:27.59 | sloopy | heh i have owned a Q800 and 8500 and used a 8100 at work for so long they are as easy to me as a IIsi |
| 08:28.16 | simonrvn | oh they're easy, just a PITA :) |
| 08:28.43 | simonrvn | so if you wanna test RAM for instance, it's "take apart, put back together"... |
| 08:28.45 | sloopy | as my former employer used to say 'nothing is hard... just time consuming' |
