Neither I did, but it was worth a try. :-) > The installer uses UTF-8 encoding. You may get a better display if you're > able to configure the remote console to use that. Oups.

Anyways, a warning like "yaboot may be unable to read its configuration file" or something would have been nice. > I'm not quite sure how the kernel selection for powerpc works, but we > should be able to fix this. > Could you send us the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'? # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : POWER5+ (gs) clock : 2197.800000MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 003b 0201) processor : 1 cpu : POWER5+ (gs) clock : 2197.800000MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 003b 0201) timebase : 275060000 machine : CHRP IBM,9406-570 # > > After rebooting, yaboot loaded the Elf64 kernel and all services > > started.

I have found out two ways to get a console: a) via "Open a terminal window" in the partitions's context menu in the HMC or b) connecting via telnet to the i5/OS partition and selecting a "remote panel" for the guest partition. I don't know what type of console are either of them. Maybe this is some kind of serial console (I have configured virtual serial adapters from the linux to the i5/OS partition). I will investigate on that console thing further next week. Greetings, Sebastian -- signature intentionally left blank
