| 05:09.33 | calamari | hi |
| 05:18.18 | tech404 | i have attempted to follow the guide above but failed to get debian to install... it tell me that I dont have the HFS bootstrap partion I need. I can see it with mac-fdisk though |
| 05:18.22 | tech404 | anyone have any ideas? |
| 05:22.05 | simonrvn | you sure it's there? should be 800 k to 1 mb in size |
| 05:22.08 | wcstok | what system |
| 05:23.33 | tech404 | powerbook... i think i may have just come across a problem.. i have been trying to do a encrypted LVM install, is that supported on ppc? |
| 05:23.47 | tech404 | yes the size was correct |
| 05:24.19 | simonrvn | which partitions? |
| 05:25.18 | tech404 | all.. except the ones needed for boot |
| 05:26.42 | simonrvn | which means? precision please |
| 05:27.40 | simonrvn | ok, do you want to do / like that too? |
| 05:27.44 | tech404 | your asking for the ones I was trying to encrypt? |
| 05:28.05 | tech404 | yes... guided LVM LUKS install |
| 05:28.52 | simonrvn | yeh well you'll have to have an initrd and /boot not in lvm, the initrd able to support luks and lvm |
| 05:30.28 | tech404 | so the installer doesn't do it right huh? |
| 05:31.02 | simonrvn | should be it ok actually |
| 05:31.28 | simonrvn | though i tried an install recently on a beige g3, and the initrd is crap |
| 05:31.52 | simonrvn | boots, but then stalls out *rolls eyes* |
| 05:33.21 | tech404 | so does the open firmware usually take care of initrds job on ppc? im affriad I know a bit on x86 and nothin on ppc |
| 05:33.44 | simonrvn | initrd and of have nothing to do with each other |
| 05:34.04 | simonrvn | of is similar in function to a bios or efi on x86 |
| 05:34.23 | tech404 | ahhh... |
| 05:34.44 | simonrvn | (and imo better than either of them ;) |
| 05:35.12 | tech404 | so then of passes to initrd |
| 05:35.15 | simonrvn | apple's sucked in the older machines |
| 05:35.24 | simonrvn | ok, here's how it goes |
| 05:35.34 | tech404 | open architecture is nice |
| 05:36.36 | simonrvn | power up -> of scans h/w, boing happens -> goes to prompt in of term if set that way -> in linux then passes to quik or yaboot -> yaboot inits kernel and initrd |
| 05:38.32 | tech404 | ok... i dont know why i couldnt make the obvious bios > grub > intird corollary there before |
| 05:38.36 | tech404 | thanks |
| 05:38.42 | simonrvn | :) |
| 05:40.51 | tech404 | so any idea why after creating the bootstrap partition the install cant find it |
| 05:41.25 | tech404 | maybe ill just continue the install anyways and see where it gets me |
| 05:42.18 | simonrvn | yeh do that. it should be able to handle it |
| 05:42.54 | simonrvn | last time i did an install (other than the beige) was 2 years ago ;p |
| 05:43.13 | tech404 | :) |
| 05:43.40 | tech404 | thanks again for your help... if i get it working I will be lurking here a bunch.... see ya |
| 05:43.49 | simonrvn | tc, np |
