| 14:41.11 | ekl | hello.. |
| 14:41.39 | ekl | a little memory hole: mac-fdisk is needed for osx too ? |
| 14:42.03 | ekl | i mean, it's a must for sharing hd with os9, it's the same for osx ? |
| 15:35.59 | simonrvn | yeh, 'cause it preserves the driver partitions (for mac os 9) and other things. on a mac, that's all i use. |
| 16:59.18 | ekl | thanks simonrvn |
| 16:59.35 | ekl | and.. debian installer still needs manual partitioning using mac-fdisk, i guess |
| 17:01.17 | simonrvn | not last time i used it, though you can do that. |
| 17:05.09 | ekl | well |
| 17:05.33 | ekl | days ago i tried to install os9 on a clamshell ibook |
| 17:05.58 | ekl | it worked, but when i installed lenny hours later, os9 never boot again |
| 17:06.17 | ekl | and i partitioned using debian installer partitioning tool |
| 17:06.25 | DelTree | you have to add it to yaboot some way... |
| 17:06.32 | ekl | done |
| 17:06.47 | DelTree | and doesn't work ? |
| 17:07.09 | ekl | no, it's f?cked |
| 17:07.22 | ekl | and i guess the reason is partitioning |
| 17:07.22 | DelTree | ran ybin ? |
| 17:07.26 | ekl | sure |
| 17:07.34 | DelTree | strange... |
| 17:07.42 | ekl | it's not my first linux ppc installation |
| 17:07.45 | DelTree | kept os9 partition of course... |
| 17:08.04 | ekl | quickly explanation of what i did |
| 17:08.09 | ekl | 1) installed a new hd |
| 17:08.12 | DelTree | (sorry, checking the basics just in case) |
| 17:08.40 | ekl | 2) partitioned using os9 install disk and installed os9 in the last partition |
| 17:08.47 | ekl | 3) installed debian |
| 17:09.04 | ekl | 4) reboot at debian installation procedure's end |
| 17:09.13 | ekl | ok, works |
| 17:09.28 | ekl | 5) reboot and boot os9: ? icon |
| 17:09.42 | ekl | both from yaboot and pressing alt at boot |
| 17:10.04 | ekl | more, i reinserted os9 cd and tried to re-install |
| 17:10.10 | ekl | and it sees no hd |
| 17:10.17 | ekl | so, i guess partitioning broke it |
| 17:10.47 | DelTree | os9 sees no hd... that's stranger... |
| 17:11.43 | DelTree | no idea what happened... no idea what os9 expects, to start with... |
| 17:12.55 | ekl | my idea, honestly |
| 17:13.34 | ekl | parted, that should be the debian installer partitioning tool (that one you are suggested to use during installation, with menu-like interface), does not use mac-fdisk |
| 17:13.40 | ekl | but normal fdisk |
| 17:13.52 | ekl | i remember something about it years ago |
| 17:14.48 | DelTree | I never use parted, indeed... don't know exactly what it does... |
| 17:16.03 | DelTree | what does mac-fdisk say about your disk now ? |
| 17:16.07 | ekl | maybe i'm using wrong names, i don't know the name, someone told me |
| 17:16.23 | ekl | i'm going to install it in about 30 minutes, so i'll tell you later |
| 17:16.32 | ekl | i was asking if someone is sure of my filing |
| 17:16.34 | ekl | feeling |
| 17:16.55 | DelTree | I never use the partitionning tool inside the installer anyway... I go to a shell and use mac-fdisk... |
| 17:18.05 | ekl | DelTree, i guess that's what i should do too |
| 17:18.28 | ekl | but.. as i did not install any linux on my mac since, at least, 2005.. i forgot it |
| 17:18.52 | DelTree | I like to know what I do... and I don't know what the partitionning tool in the installer does exactly... |
| 17:19.02 | ekl | yes yes.. i know that feeling |
