FYI: libvirt / virt-install / virt-manager available on PPC in rawhide
by Daniel P. Berrange
For Fedora 6 & 7, the virtualization management stack based on libvirt was
never built for PPC. This is because it depended on Xen which was x86(_64)
only. Since libvirt now has support for managing QEMU / KVM too, and QEMU
RPMs are available on PPC in Fedora, we have removed the ExcludeArch from
all the virt management RPMs. Xen support in libvirt is still explicitly
excluded on PPC - we only build QEMU support. The build was just completed
so RPMs should be available in rawhide in the near future.
If the kernel-xen in Fedora ever gets PPC support we can also enable libvirt
to support Xen on PPC, but that's blocked on PPC kernel merge & not aware of
anyone actively working on that.
Regards,
Dan.

regenerating comps.xml
by Alan McKay
Hi again folks,
I finally got somewhere the the problems I've been having reproducing
our Fedora-x86 build on Fedora-PPC. On the x86 side it appears as
though we can happily remove RPMs from the "base", but on the PPC side
this causes Anaconda to die miserably. So in the meantime I'm
including all of "base" in the builds and it is chugging along nicely.
However, the real goal is to be able to trim down "base" and remove
the 20 or so RPMs that we simply do not need for our application.
I've been doing a lot of googling and cannot seem to find anything on
this. Actually, the one site I found that showed how to do this was
for FC2 and it made use of a Python script which was nowhere to be
found on my system, even though I did have the package installed which
they said was required. So I guess that script has been obsoleted in
the meantime.
Can someone please point me to some reading material to figure out how
to do this?
thanks,
-Alan

pungi docs?
by Alan McKay
Hey guys,
I'm finally getting around to looking at pungi, and there do not seem
to be (m)any docs for it. I'm looking in the wiki at
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/pungi/wiki/PungiDocs and
what seems to be there are skeleton docs that make lots of references
to "what we're going to do". And I don't see anything in the
download that I just pulled.
Also wondering what you'd all recommend for background reading. The
scant docs which do exist in the wiki seem to assume an awful lot of
knowledge about how a FC distro is put together in the first place
(which is kind of circular - well, more than kind-of). Can you
recommend reading material on some of the building blocks, in
particular on repositories, and how to build them?
thanks,
-Alan

Live image ppc and ppc64 support
by Jeremy Katz
Okay, I've finally gotten around to merging dwmw2's changes for ppc
support in livecd-creator. First off, thanks for getting the ball
rolling.
Of course, now the fun part is that it would be nice to be able to
support both ppc and ppc64 with the images. There are a few barriers to
that as it currently stands.
The biggest is probably that the ppc and ppc64 kernels currently
conflict. The actual vmlinuz files as well as the modules end up under
the same paths. Without that fixed, it's a bit of a non-starter. Maybe
it finally makes sense to make the paths depend on uname -m in addition
to uname -r? Other ideas?
If we get that fixed, the livecd-creator side of things shouldn't be
that bad to do. Mainly just making it so that we handle multiple
kernels (which kanarip has a patch for, just need to finish getting it
into a merge-ready state) and then a little of the 3264 logic out of
anaconda's scripts.

ppc64 (mac) netboot
by Roland McGrath
Ages ago, I used to netboot my Mac G5 all the time.
It's been a while since I've had any luck with that. Help?
My server-side stuff still works, don't bother asking.
What I used to do is have the tftp'd file be yaboot. It would tftp
yaboot.conf and present the menu items I set up. One of these could be e.g.:
image=enet:,/fc/4/mac64/vmlinuz
label=fc4-mac64
initrd=enet:,/fc/4/mac64/ramdisk.image.gz
append="maxcpus=1 ramdisk_size=8192"
read-only
and this worked peachy. I was able to get there by using the four-finger
salute at chime time and typing "boot enet:,", or by getting to the first
stage of on-disk yaboot and hitting 'n'. I could even do it by holding 'n'
at chime time, or option and clicking the globe, and then type blind at the
yaboot command line while the screen stayed frozen in Macintoshy graphics
mode until the boot started.
I can still get my menu, but it never leads to a happy installer boot any
more (unless I want to reinstall FC4). Maybe since FC5 or so. At some
point, the netboot images changed from vmlinuz+initrd.img to the one
ppc64.img. When I point yaboot at that, it tftp's it happily and then says:
... method 'load' failed 00000300
Can't read Elf e_ident/e_type/e_machine info
When I change the tftp server to deliver ppc64.img directly, I get (from OF):
Loading ELF
CLAIM failed
ok
When I try 'n' at chime time or 'n' at on-disk yaboot stage 1, it just
blinks and fiddles for a few seconds and then either boots from disk or
goes into an endless loop of yaboot stage 1 prompts. Once it showed me a
folder icon with a question mark in the center of the screen for a second.
Over the releases I've tried a newer yaboot from time to time, with no luck.
What's the story? I would really like to be able to netboot a yaboot with
a configurable menu of options that can include installer boots. That's
what I do for x86 machines with PXE, and that's what I was able to do for
the Mac before.
Thanks,
Roland
