i would like to install gentoo 1.2 or 1.4rc5 on a power mac 8550. current |
| 4 |
hardware config of the machine is 288M ram, 8G available disk at scsi lun 5. |
| 5 |
the machine is currently running macos 9.1 in multi-user mode. i'm having |
| 6 |
trouble with the initial boot seqeunce. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
so far: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
i downloaded the ppc 1.2 installation instructions and have tried to follow |
| 11 |
them closely. in the first section, the Installer.sit container is |
| 12 |
mentioned, but the location is not given. i did find version 1.8 on the 1.2 |
| 13 |
release of the ppc gentoo iso. (i usually start with recent releases, so i |
| 14 |
invested a significant amount of time looking for the Installer on the 1.4rc5 |
| 15 |
iso's. why is it not on them?). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
after installing the BootX control panel and attendant kernel images, etc, i |
| 18 |
get the following problems. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
when i select linux from the BootX dialog box, the kernel copied to the 9.1 |
| 21 |
system folder begins the boot routine, but panics with a series of failures |
| 22 |
on device 08.01. the messages are approximately: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08.01... |
| 25 |
rebooting in 180 seconds. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
i'm new in the gentoo realm, so would appreciate any help from the community. |
