| 05:05.26 | b33r | ok |
| 05:06.07 | b33r | simonrvn, First i loaded up jigdo on win32, and downloaded http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/jigdo-area/powerpc/sarge-powerpc-1.jigdo |
| 05:06.18 | b33r | burned that image to a cd |
| 05:06.30 | b33r | booted that cd to my powerbookg3 firewire |
| 05:06.43 | b33r | on* |
| 05:06.57 | b33r | then typed in install, after the boot prompt |
| 05:07.07 | b33r | which opened up the debian installer |
| 05:07.15 | b33r | then set up everthing as it asked me |
| 05:07.39 | b33r | first problem was it couldnt do a modprobe -v on sungem module |
| 05:07.47 | b33r | then I was configuring the partition |
| 05:08.10 | b33r | and once i had the parition table the way i wanted it it said failed to load ext3 on / |
| 05:08.18 | b33r | i then tried xfs and that didnt work either |
| 05:08.29 | b33r | thats where im at |
| 05:10.01 | simonrvn | ok, now i have an idea what's going on :) |
| 05:10.05 | simonrvn | brb |
| 05:11.15 | b33r | fyi i have no clue what is on the hdd atm |
| 05:11.25 | b33r | seems to be some version of yellowdog |
| 05:11.46 | b33r | and i dont have an osx,os8,os9 disks at my disposal |

| 05:38.41 | simonrvn | b33r: ok, might as well just restart the installer then. since there's nothing on it you want anyway |
| 05:39.07 | b33r | ok doing it now |
| 05:39.21 | b33r | im also downloading another cd just to see if that is the problem |
| 05:39.35 | simonrvn | sorry was gone so long, got caught watching the daily show =) |
| 05:40.11 | simonrvn | better to use the rc2 iso anyway |
| 05:41.03 | b33r | haha the daily show is awesome |
| 05:41.38 | b33r | ok im looking for the link of the iso i downloded |
| 05:41.41 | b33r | im not sure if its rc2 |
| 05:42.24 | b33r | this is the filename : sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso |
| 05:42.43 | b33r | do you have a link to the rc2 |
| 05:42.54 | b33r | cause im not sure if i can get the net connection on the laptop to work |
| 05:44.45 | simonrvn | netinst is ok |
| 05:47.13 | b33r | ok burning image now |
| 05:47.36 | simonrvn | there's this http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/current/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso, and |
| 05:48.29 | simonrvn | http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/rc2/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso |
| 05:53.29 | b33r | ok |
| 05:53.33 | b33r | should i do install |
| 05:53.35 | b33r | or expert |
| 05:54.11 | b33r | simonrvn? |
| 05:54.30 | simonrvn | install |
| 05:54.43 | simonrvn | read the installer guide. it'll help a lot |
| 05:55.06 | b33r | i did |
| 05:55.08 | b33r | a little |
| 05:55.21 | b33r | :P{ |
| 05:56.30 | b33r | cool this time i didnt get the sungem error |
| 05:56.48 | simonrvn | cool |
| 05:57.15 | simonrvn | the jigdo images are meant to be edited. then used/burned. |
| 05:57.15 | b33r | ok what do you recoomend i do with my 20 gigs in terms of partitioning |
| 05:57.26 | b33r | oh id idnt know that |
| 05:57.32 | simonrvn | the installer can do that for you |
| 05:58.10 | b33r | ya that other image was all different |
| 05:58.13 | b33r | compared to this one |
| 05:58.29 | b33r | i just used jigdo because on the debioan page they said it was the fastest way to get an image |
| 05:59.03 | kelly | is it possible to recover the boot loader by pointing the OF at the correct device ? |
| 05:59.15 | simonrvn | because it's smaller. the netinst is larger, has more stuff on it to bootstrap a box |
| 05:59.48 | simonrvn | kelly: you can chroot, and run tbin, or if you know what/where/how, then yeh, you can fix it that way |
| 05:59.54 | simonrvn | s/tbin/ybin/ |
| 06:00.15 | kelly | i cant get into the drive |
| 06:00.23 | kelly | im sitting at an of prompt |
| 06:00.29 | kelly | i got no idea why |
| 06:01.25 | simonrvn | did you do the hardware detection yet? again, read the install guide, it has all the step by step instructions |
| 06:01.48 | kelly | im sorry,your install guide ? |
| 06:02.18 | kelly | ya i read it, i cant seem to figure out thecommands to set the env for boot |
| 06:02.57 | kelly | and i have no idea how to get it to tell me what devices are availible |
| 06:03.09 | simonrvn | oh sorry, got confused with b33r |
| 06:03.25 | simonrvn | you in OF right now? |
| 06:03.29 | kelly | yes |
| 06:03.48 | kelly | cocked and locked |
| 06:04.08 | simonrvn | what happens when you type boot ? |
| 06:04.36 | simonrvn | fyi, those beige g3s a re bit tricky to boot from quik |
| 06:04.40 | simonrvn | are* |
| 06:04.54 | kelly | "boot cant open pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi/sd0:0 |
| 06:05.36 | simonrvn | ah scsi boot, smart |
| 06:06.03 | kelly | ya i know i had quick running great, and i rebooted and bam itwas gone |
| 06:06.06 | simonrvn | have some floppies to boot from? |
| 06:06.12 | kelly | no floppy |
| 06:06.23 | kelly | not even the drive |
| 06:06.43 | simonrvn | ok, so what do you have for boot-device and boot-command? |
| 06:06.49 | simonrvn | printenv |
| 06:07.19 | b33r | ok simonrvn im building the partition table |
| 06:07.23 | b33r | *crosses fingers* |
| 06:08.08 | kelly | "boot-device pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi/sd0:0" |
| 06:08.13 | kelly | boot-command boot |
| 06:08.33 | b33r | IT WORKED :D |
| 06:09.01 | simonrvn | cool |
| 06:09.13 | simonrvn | kelly: try power cycling it |
| 06:09.17 | b33r | now its installing teh debian base system |
| 06:09.52 | kelly | "boot cant open pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi/sd0:0 |
| 06:10.16 | kelly | isthat supposed to be /pci/ or pci/ |
| 06:10.40 | kelly | and isnt there supposed tobe an @ in there somewhere |
| 06:11.33 | simonrvn | /pci |
| 06:11.36 | simonrvn | iirc |
| 06:11.41 | simonrvn | sd@0:0 |
| 06:12.52 | kelly | ok i changed it but it still cant boot |
| 06:14.35 | simonrvn | what does dev /pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi ls show? |
| 06:14.47 | simonrvn | 'dev /pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi ls' |
| 06:15.57 | kelly | cant find deviceeno active package |
| 06:16.25 | simonrvn | try without the first slash |
| 06:17.51 | kelly | ok got a list , what am i looking for |
| 06:18.02 | kelly | i got mesh and sd@0:0 |
| 06:18.51 | simonrvn | ok, good, so edit the boot-device option to have no first slash |
| 06:19.12 | simonrvn | pci/mac-io/mesh/scsi/sd@0:0 basically |
| 06:19.53 | kelly | cant open |
| 06:20.21 | kelly | you know idontsee scsi inthislist in pci |
| 06:20.50 | simonrvn | ok, so remove the scsi bit, and just point at mesh (which is a scsi chipset fyi) |
| 06:21.02 | simonrvn | <PROTECTED> |
| 06:21.17 | kelly | cant load from this device |
| 06:21.51 | simonrvn | can't load? meh. ok, do dev pci/mac-io/mesh, then do words |
| 06:22.21 | simonrvn | oh, how many scsi devices do you have on it, and what are the IDs ? |
| 06:23.29 | kelly | well i forgot what theall are but boot dev is 0 the slave is ide and i know the cdrom is 3 or more |
| 06:23.51 | simonrvn | cdrom is likely to be 3 |
| 06:24.00 | kelly | this system was working this verry morning in debian, and it hasnt been touched since |
| 06:24.27 | simonrvn | sometimes the pram corrupts... |
| 06:24.44 | simonrvn | um, did you reboot it? i suggest a reset-all |
| 06:24.59 | kelly | done |
| 06:25.12 | kelly | cant load from this device |
| 06:25.19 | simonrvn | it'll commit the boot-device setting, and maybe boot properly (those things are fricking touchy) |
| 06:25.27 | simonrvn | wth... |
| 06:26.03 | simonrvn | what does dev pci/mac-io/mesh ls show again? |
| 06:26.56 | kelly | sd@0:0 and st@0:0 |
| 06:27.16 | simonrvn | st? you have a scsi tape drive on it? |
| 06:27.27 | kelly | zip drive |
| 06:28.09 | simonrvn | ok |
| 06:30.01 | simonrvn | so boot-device still says pci/mac-io/mesh/sd@0:0 ? |
| 06:30.34 | kelly | yes in printenv |
| 06:31.01 | simonrvn | so it sees it, but doesn't want to boot from it... |
| 06:31.18 | kelly | yes |
| 06:31.49 | simonrvn | what debian version is installed on it? |
| 06:32.16 | kelly | sarge |
| 06:33.30 | simonrvn | ok, so it has a decent version of quik. hmm, i suggest checking out http://wiki.kisikew.org/bin/Know/NativeBootGee3OFTwoFour for some ideas... might help |
| 06:36.09 | kelly | 404 error |
| 06:36.13 | simonrvn | at this point, i'm pretty clueless |
| 06:36.17 | simonrvn | ... |
| 06:36.21 | simonrvn | sec |
| 06:36.56 | simonrvn | add view/ after the bin |
| 06:37.05 | simonrvn | i keep doing that... |
| 06:47.58 | kelly | looks like im reinstalling |
| 06:48.40 | kelly | is it possible to point of to the cdrom to boot from it |
| 06:54.02 | simonrvn | dunno. be better if you had a floppy drive, you could at least chroot to the installed system and see what's going on (and re-run quik, etc.) |
| 06:55.29 | kelly | cant floppy dies, doesnt even exist |

| 18:21.40 | dotsony | how does one boot single-user mode with yaboot? |
| 18:22.19 | Bor_Ed | linux -S |
| 18:22.30 | dotsony | also, when I try to boot off the netinst cd and chroot into the installation, i am unable to run ybin because it can't read /proc |
| 18:22.58 | Bor_Ed | mount -t proc proc proc or such to remount the /proc |
| 18:23.14 | dotsony | ohhhhh |
| 18:24.19 | dotsony | when i try to use the same cd to install a 2.4.27 kernel, it panics because it can't mount my root partition (/dec/hdc3) |
| 18:24.54 | dotsony | 2.6.8 hangs after loading ohci_hcd or something like that |
| 18:26.16 | Bor_Ed | you should be able to mount manually on alt+f2 console |
| 18:26.55 | dotsony | i dunno |
| 18:27.03 | dotsony | it panics and then tries to reboot |
| 18:27.37 | dotsony | i don't understand why the installed kernel hangs after loading a module that works just fine on the installer itself |
| 18:27.51 | Bor_Ed | do you have rc2 installer or nigthly built ? |
| 18:27.59 | dotsony | it's a b&w g3 |
| 18:28.03 | dotsony | you know, i'm not sure |
| 18:28.10 | dotsony | i grabbed it a long time ago |
| 18:29.50 | *** part/#debianppc vapier (UserBah@wh0rd.org) |
| 18:30.33 | Bor_Ed | dunno... I have beige g3 here and the rc2 installer worked for me |
| 18:30.45 | dotsony | the installer works |
| 18:30.50 | dotsony | but the installed kernel hangs |
| 18:31.18 | dotsony | maybe it's something that's loaded after ohci_hcd |
| 18:31.32 | Bor_Ed | check syslog on the disk |
| 18:31.50 | dotsony | after booting from the installer... |
| 18:32.02 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 18:32.03 | dotsony | another thing that's driving me off the wall |
| 18:32.18 | dotsony | i've had to reinstall this thing like 6 or 7 times |
| 18:32.34 | dotsony | because the isnstaller won't let me skip around |
| 18:32.56 | dotsony | if i try to move ahead it just does the step I tried to skip |
| 18:33.26 | Bor_Ed | install woody and dist-upgrade ? :) |
| 18:33.46 | dotsony | i wonder if i have a woody disk somewhere |

| 18:38.15 | dotsony | allthough, now that I know about the /proc thingy i guess it's not as important |
| 18:38.58 | Bor_Ed | not really ... |
| 18:39.12 | Bor_Ed | the installed kernel prolly just is not working on yer sys |
| 18:40.23 | dotsony | ok |
| 18:40.28 | dotsony | well that's unfortuante |
| 18:40.43 | dotsony | it's been an uphill battle from the beginning |
| 18:41.05 | Bor_Ed | I haven't found any deb prebuilt 2.6 kernel to work the way I want to see it |

| 18:43.09 | Bor_Ed | just try if you'd have better luck with woody installer on the b&w |
| 18:43.16 | dotsony | ok |
| 18:44.17 | dotsony | i submit that there should be a "reinstall bootloader" option on the ppc installer though |
| 18:45.04 | Bor_Ed | there isn't ? (make system bootable) ?? |
| 18:45.20 | dotsony | it tries to install the base system first |
| 18:45.30 | Bor_Ed | hmm |
| 18:45.38 | dotsony | and fails if it doesn't |
| 18:45.49 | dotsony | the base install fails if you repartition |
| 18:46.08 | dotsony | so the only way is to chroot...i didn't know you had to remount /proc so i couldn't make it work |
| 18:46.25 | dotsony | er ... fails if you don't repartioin |

| 18:46.49 | Bor_Ed | sounds like the installer doesn't play nice with yout |
| 18:46.57 | dotsony | you could say that |
| 18:47.26 | dotsony | it would also be nice if the installer let you install more than one kernel |
| 18:47.34 | dotsony | the woody installer did |
| 18:47.57 | b33r | whenever gdm loads my screen flickers beyond reading and i get the windowpane effect... i set up xserver and xconfig looks right, what am I doing wrong? |
| 18:47.59 | Bor_Ed | I've used the sarge rc2 installer 2 times... I recall there was an option for extra kernels |

| 18:49.39 | b33r | oh cool, sweet |
| 18:49.41 | b33r | thanks |
| 18:49.49 | b33r | better than: kill 43563473475 |
| 18:49.59 | dotsony | you can also use killall gdm |
| 18:50.12 | Bor_Ed | the gdm will be respawned that way |
| 18:50.45 | dotsony | which way |
| 18:50.52 | Bor_Ed | killall gdm |
| 18:51.24 | b33r | ./etc/rc2.d/S stop doesnt work |
| 18:51.38 | dotsony | you have to look and see what it's actually called |
| 18:51.46 | dotsony | they put some junk in front of the commands |
| 18:51.58 | b33r | oh Durr |
| 18:51.58 | dotsony | it's XBLAHBLAHgdm |
| 18:52.14 | Bor_Ed | /etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't require the extra junk |
| 18:52.35 | dotsony | Bor_Ed: that helps |
| 18:53.05 | b33r | ok |
| 18:53.23 | dotsony | anyways, that will work once |
| 18:53.35 | dotsony | if you restart gdm will load again |
| 18:53.35 | b33r | what should i look at to get a visible picture |
| 18:53.36 | Bor_Ed | yea. update-rc.d remove gdm helps in the future |
