| 00:47.36 | ekl | 1 gb is enough ? it's a router |
| 00:51.13 | pahartik | ekl: My DVB server does currently use 505 MiB of "/" filesystem... "/boot/", "/home/" and "/dvb/" are separate filesystems |
| 00:51.26 | ekl | ok |

| 19:45.36 | davis_ | hello |
| 19:45.47 | davis_ | anybody have expericence with 9114-275? |
| 19:47.13 | simonrvn | and what is that? |
| 19:47.28 | davis_ | its a rs6000 |
| 19:48.10 | simonrvn | ah. me no, there's a couple of people here that do... sec |
| 19:48.31 | simonrvn | not in this channel, the other #debianppc does |
| 19:48.37 | simonrvn | irc.oftc.net |
| 19:48.50 | davis_ | ok thanks |
| 19:49.03 | simonrvn | ag- and js_ do IIRC |
| 19:50.18 | davis_ | thanks |
| 19:50.23 | davis_ | i've asked there as well. |
| 19:50.59 | simonrvn | probably away |
| 19:51.16 | simonrvn | and it's better if you just ask the question, people do watch ;) |
| 19:51.59 | davis_ | ok |
| 20:42.17 | davis_ | I am trying to install RHEL5 on a powerpc rs6000 (9114-275). As soon as I boot from DVD, it prints a yaboot prompt and then loads the kernel and ram disk. This is shown on the VGA display. Then, it clears the screen, prints some "openfirware looking text" with the last line saying "returning from prom init" and then the console is never updated again. I am using a 4500 video card. Any idea what is the problem? |
| 20:55.11 | mike_xcr | rhel is for ppc? o_0 |
| 20:55.36 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 20:55.53 | mike_xcr | wow. |
| 20:55.56 | Bor_Ed | ran at first on ibm virtualized HW |
| 20:56.53 | davis_ | yeah |
| 20:56.58 | davis_ | sorry to ask in debian |
| 20:57.03 | davis_ | but i'm at my wits end |
| 20:57.14 | davis_ | i've tried suse 10 for that matter |
| 20:57.20 | Bor_Ed | tried if anything is on first serial port? |
| 20:57.53 | davis_ | its total failure. ive read of others having it work. I don't understand my poroblem. |
| 20:58.43 | Bor_Ed | I tried to run linux/ppc on MCA based rs/6000 for some months, contributed to devs etc and eventually kept running with AIX :o |
| 20:59.55 | davis_ | Bor_Ed: btw, what do you mean, "Ran at first on ibm Virtualized HW"? |
| 21:00.48 | Bor_Ed | davis_: it ran over the IBM big iron under virtual cpus |
| 21:01.02 | mike_xcr | Deformati: |
| 21:01.03 | mike_xcr | where rumors took RHEL? |
| 21:01.07 | mike_xcr | davis_: ^ |
| 21:02.16 | davis_ | ahh |
| 21:03.05 | davis_ | hmm. i am at a yaboot boot: prompt. Is there something I could do to force the console to be at /pci/pci/display@1? |
