I finally got around to loading Mandrake PPC 8.0 on my powerbook. The model is a Powerbook G3 250Mhz Wallstreet w/ 13" display. First I was having a problem with the video which I solved by setting kernel arguments video=vesa vga=0x317 in the bootx program. Second I noticed eth0 never initialized, it detected it and installed the bmac module for it but I cannot get the interface up at all. I have tried to use dhcp and a static address, and I checked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network and everything looks just like it should. Has anyone seen this, or does anyone have any idea how I can correct the problem? I love the way the OS performs on this machine, but it would be a shame not to be able to use it on the network.
thanks
