| 12:18.41 | pahartik | simonrvn: Same thing over here |

| 13:50.04 | Lortie | hi guys |
| 13:50.53 | Lortie | pahartik, devalias delivers me about 30 devices |
| 13:51.26 | Lortie | with debian I have started the rescue mode...there I can execute the shell on my root-partition |
| 13:52.10 | Lortie | so I can use yabin and yabootconfig....but on execute, the prompt alert me, that no apple-bootstrap was found O.o but it is definatly there |
| 13:57.33 | pahartik | Lortie: You probably did "chroot /target" and then "mount /proc" before running "ybin -v"? |
| 13:59.36 | pahartik | Lortie: "mount /boot" as well, if that was separate... |
| 14:02.09 | Lortie | ah sry you dont know who I am ^^ |
| 14:02.29 | gomaaz | I haven't got a /boot partition |
| 14:02.38 | gomaaz | sda1 = partition map |
| 14:02.44 | gomaaz | sda2 = apple bootsrtap |
| 14:02.50 | gomaaz | sda3 = swap |
| 14:03.02 | gomaaz | sda4 = / (root) |
| 14:03.27 | gomaaz | And no I don't hit this bevor running ybin |
| 14:03.44 | gomaaz | the debian yaboot installer also says he couldn't install yaboot |
| 14:04.01 | gomaaz | so i looked in the syslog an there is written... |
| 14:04.11 | gomaaz | ... |
| 14:04.11 | gomaaz | yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Finding OpenFirmware device path to '/dev/sda2' |
| 14:04.11 | gomaaz | yaboot-installer: ofpath: Driver: is not supported |
| 14:04.11 | gomaaz | yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Unable to find OpenFirmware Path for boot=/dev/sda2 |
| 14:04.11 | gomaaz | yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Please add ofboot=<path> where <path> is the OpenFirmware path to /dev/sda2/ to /etc/yaboot.conf |
| 14:04.13 | gomaaz | yaboot-installer: error: mkofboot failed with exit status 1 |
| 14:04.15 | gomaaz | ... |
| 14:06.19 | pahartik | gomaaz: I have "ofboot=hd:2" in "/etc/yaboot.conf" |
| 14:07.06 | gomaaz | ok BUT on running yaboot or mkofboot...he told me that I should create an 800k apple bootstrap |
| 14:07.06 | pahartik | gomaaz: But do not flood |
| 14:07.13 | gomaaz | sry |
| 14:08.08 | gomaaz | so he couldn't found the bootstrap |
| 14:08.25 | gomaaz | I'll post the error log somewhere and tell you then |
| 14:21.00 | gomaaz | did you choose ext2 or 3? |
| 14:21.08 | gomaaz | recommended is 3 I remember |
| 14:24.21 | pahartik | gomaaz: "Apple_Bootstrap" is HFS, "/boot/" is "ext2"... |
| 14:25.43 | gomaaz | is /boot also necessary Oo? |
| 14:27.07 | gomaaz | so I shuld have: sda1 = partition map, sda2 = apple bootsrtap, sda3= /boot, sda4= / ? |
| 14:27.25 | pahartik | gomaaz: Well, it makes things easier if one uses RAID, LVM, LUKS... |
| 14:31.04 | gomaaz | but yaboot isnt installed on boot right? |
| 14:32.52 | pahartik | gomaaz: "yaboot" and/or "grub-ieee1275" are installed on HFS on "Apple_Bootstrap" |
| 14:33.45 | gomaaz | so can I partiotion apple bootstrap in the distribution installer? or should I partition it with the disk utility? |
| 14:33.54 | gomaaz | disk utility on mac os x I mean |
| 14:35.33 | pahartik | gomaaz: Debian installer should do it, I think "parted" can do it as well... |
| 14:37.12 | gomaaz | ok I'll give it a try once more |
| 14:40.45 | pahartik | gomaaz: If "ofpath" cannot figure out appropriate "ofboot" value, one can define it manually just fine |
| 15:04.37 | *** join/#debianppc gommier (fnord@ppp-88-145.infonie.org) |
| 15:18.56 | gomaaz | so I will edit my yaboot.conf first and then rund ybin -v? |
| 16:59.50 | pahartik | gomaaz: Yes... |
| 18:40.43 | gomaaz | ok I'll try now |

| 21:22.29 | gomaaz | pahartik: I finally got yaboot to run |
| 21:23.06 | gomaaz | but |
| 21:24.10 | gomaaz | there I got : Press l for Gnu/linux, c for cdrom and o for openfirmware |
| 21:26.24 | gomaaz | when I type "l", it says: Stage 1 boot: loading second stage bootstrap.... |
| 21:26.50 | pahartik | gomaaz: I think that is not yet "yaboot", but prompt before it |
| 21:27.26 | gomaaz | yes that could be, it says first in line "first stage GNU /Linux bootstrap |
| 21:28.43 | gomaaz | so what I did is to add the ofboot=hd:2 string to the yaboot.conf |
| 21:29.23 | gomaaz | I did mkofboot to format the drive again in HFS and ran Ybin -v on it with success! |
| 21:29.41 | gomaaz | but linux still won't boot Oo |
| 21:30.09 | gomaaz | I also tried to type in openfirmware : boot hd:2,yaboot with no luck :/ |
| 21:34.45 | pahartik | gomaaz: Missing thing is probably correct "boot-device" environment variable |
| 21:38.52 | gomaaz | boot-device=/dev/sda2 (in my case) should be lsitet in yaboot conf? |
| 21:40.04 | gomaaz | I got "boot=/dev/sda2" there |
| 21:42.42 | pahartik | gomaaz: Environment variable in OpenFirmware |
| 21:44.55 | gomaaz | gnarrr, how to set that? |
| 21:46.55 | gomaaz | when I type "ybin -v" it also says in log "updtening openfirmware boot-device variable in vram... |
| 22:02.35 | pahartik | gomaaz: With value that seems to not have worked... Use "printenv" and "setenv" on OpenFirmware console |
| 22:05.38 | gomaaz | ok just a sec |
| 22:08.10 | gomaaz | ok |
| 22:09.00 | gomaaz | pahartik: on column 1 (partition common) the boot-device is set as : "hd:2,\\:tbxi" |
| 22:09.25 | gomaaz | 2. column (signature) it is set to "hd:,\\:tbxi" |
| 22:10.37 | gomaaz | after entering "setenv" it says just "ok" |
| 22:11.09 | pahartik | gomaaz: What is "hd" alias of? |
| 22:11.52 | gomaaz | is it in devalias list? |
| 22:12.28 | pahartik | gomaaz: It could be |
| 22:13.56 | gomaaz | there are aroudn 50 listed...don't know which of them is the right one....so they are named different....no sda2 or hd or something ..... |
| 22:16.13 | pahartik | gomaaz: Have you tried "boot hd:,\\:tbxi"? |
| 22:16.35 | gomaaz | no wait |
| 22:17.40 | gomaaz | "NO-sata: port=0 cant OPEN: hd:,\\:tbxi |
| 22:17.44 | gomaaz | cant open file or device |
| 22:18.36 | gomaaz | should I go through the aliases modifiing this string? |
| 22:19.40 | pahartik | gomaaz: Device should be on that list |
| 22:20.12 | gomaaz | then I'll go through it |
| 22:22.15 | gomaaz | maybe it is "firstboot" = /ht@0m f2000000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata |
| 22:23.49 | gomaaz | no it isnt |
| 22:25.11 | gomaaz | wait |
| 22:25.16 | gomaaz | "hd" is on that list |
| 22:26.01 | gomaaz | with entry "/ht/pci07/k2-sata-root/k2-sata@0/disk@0 |
| 22:26.23 | gomaaz | "NO-sata: port=0 cant OPEN: hd:,\\:tbxi |
| 22:26.33 | gomaaz | cant open file or device pahartik |
| 22:31.06 | pahartik | gomaaz: Does that workstation have many harddisks? |
| 22:31.18 | gomaaz | only one which is in there |
| 22:31.25 | gomaaz | 80 GB sata |
| 22:31.37 | gomaaz | formatted completly for linux |
| 22:41.24 | pahartik | gomaaz: Maybe I would try something like "boot hd" and "boot hd:0"... |
| 22:44.56 | pahartik | gomaaz: I do not have any experience about SATA or PowerMacintosh G5... But it should work easily enough |
| 22:46.02 | gomaaz | yeah that would be fun ... :/ |
| 22:47.16 | *** join/#debianppc psychicist_ (~psychicis@j0175.upc-j.chello.nl) |
| 22:47.41 | gomaaz | so I tried boot hd and boot hd:x (1-9)...it always says no sata cant open hd:x |
| 22:48.36 | gomaaz | I give it up for today....tomorrow is another chance to beat it ;) MANY THANKS for now |
| 22:48.46 | pahartik | gomaaz: It can possibly show up as second or third harddisk... |
| 22:49.17 | gomaaz | lets keep in mind for tomorrow |
| 22:49.24 | gomaaz | see ya then bye |
