ata 66 and blue and white g3
by james rooker
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.

glibc update on ppc32/fc6 fubar?
by Kevin Fenzi
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.

[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.
