ata 66 and blue and white g3
by james rooker 13 Feb '07

I have already posted this on some yellowdog mailling lists. My issue is just as applicable to fedora ppc so trying here as well. I have a blue and white 400Mhz G3 with 1 20gb Western Digital HD and 1 Maxtor 300gb HD. I am running the 20gb drive as the boot drive with MacOSX Tiger. Without any patches the 300gb drive is seen as a 137gb drive -- With Intech's ATA HD patch -- I can set multiple 137gb partitions and use almost the entire 300gb. I would like to set this machine up dual boot -- MacOSX and Fedora ppc linux. However with both Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5 ppc installers -- I can boot the machine just fine and run the installer to the partitioning stage -- but it never actually writes any linux packages to the HD at all the installer locks up when I try to write partitions to either drive ... I could get an ATA controller card for this machine but thus far those run between $79-$199 from what I have seen. Does anyone know of a patch that will make the Fedora ppc installer work properly or of an ATA controller card for $50 or less that would work for this machine?? I have also heard that either Fedora Core 5 or 6 had some software built in that would circumvent the 137gb partition limit -- is this true?? Thanks for your help. James Rooker

glibc update on ppc32/fc6 fubar?
by Kevin Fenzi 23 Jan '07

Greetings. I just picked up a old g4/466 box to use for fedora ppc builds and testing.... First, minor issue... had to figure out that I needed to hit a 'c' on boot to get it to boot from the cdrom. Perhaps that should be added to the release notes? Once I got that figured I got fc6 installed and working with no problems. Then I tried to 'yum update' the newly installed machine... This resulted in a segfault in the libselinux package update: Updating : libsepol ##################### [ 26/426] error: %post(libsepol-1.15.3-1.fc6.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Updating : libselinux ############ [ 27/426]Segmentation fault Re-installing and trying various things, it looks like it's the glibc update that is causing the issue. Downloading Packages: (1/2): glibc-2.5-10.fc6.p 100% |=========================| 7.2 MB 02:57 (2/2): glibc-common-2.5-1 100% |=========================| 18 MB 00:44 Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Updating : glibc-common ######################### [1/4] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/locale/zh_CN/LC_PAPER: cpio: link Updating : glibc [2/4]warning: /etc/localtime created as /etc/localtime.rpmnew Updating : glibc ######################### [2/4] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/ld-2.5.so: cpio: open Cleanup : glibc-common ######################### [3/4] Updated: glibc.ppc 0:2.5-10.fc6 Dependency Updated: glibc-common.ppc 0:2.5-10.fc6 Complete! [root@marva ~]# ls -bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory At this point the dynamic linker isn't happy and pretty much nothing will work. Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong? I did find a really old report of a problem like this in bugzilla: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119122 Any help or pointers will be appreciated. kevin
