We've been extended yaboot so it isn't mac specific anymo

If you copy the kernel directly, you should set the OF variable

want the patch for PowerPC linux and the 0.0.7 version of the code. I
was on a
2.3.99-pre9 kernel / yellow dog 1.2 setup when I was playing with it but
hopefully for you debian folks it'll just work.

Hi George,
None too surprising. You want a kernel compiled as CHRP. Tho one question, is
your box an SMP box? If so, make sure SMP is turned on. Otherwise the standard
CHRP config in arch/ppc/configs should work just fine.

Yup ... or see the wonderful xmon problem... which means you're

(Yes I know it sound goofie but it works) then turn your machine on. Later in
the boot sequence it should try and output to all devices where a console would
be possible (including serial) and would allow you to choose (From the
firmware's perspective) the serial port as the console.

running linux on at least power3 systems.
Full blow ppc64 boxen tho would seem to be a problem tho as on some of
those you can only run the 64 bit kernel and I'm not sure the installer
will react well to a uname of ppc64. But knows! Certainly worth a try
for the adventurous soul.

27;t do. Quite surprising!
Anyway... t'will have an update on my 270 install story when the journey is
complete... I'm somewhat stuck at the moment.

Again depends on your goals. If you wanna run OS X for instance as well as
linux then I'm not so sure this would be the solution for you and perhaps Apple
hardware might be the better choice. Wanna run the Amiga OS in time, then
obviously this is a good choice.

Pick up SuSE 7.1 or later. Works great on the 170. While it'
s, pitfalls?
Hi Jens,
Well the key is that the box isn't yet in the hands of those who if it
needs fixes for any reason can create those fixes. It's also quite
possible it'll just work.
No need to worry tho, people will put in the effort to get it
working
