CPU compatibility layer
by Mattia Tristo 02 May '12

02 May '12

I have wrotten a thread in Linux Forums about a CPU Layer compatibility to answer little-big endian method. I think it would be wonderful to teach the kernel to convert between the two types and ask the layer to do the translations ordering the data in memory or letting them in the original state. If the original data is from the most used format (in terms of Linux Users an lines of code written) to the same it is not converted, else if it is from the last used to the most it is converted. What do you think about this? Can be made? P.S.: There would be a lot of code and software repository that could be made in the same way!!!

Fedora 16: can't boot ppc-DVD
by Federico Vaga 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

I'm trying to install Fedora 16 on a powerbook G4; on boot the system return continuously the following error: Machine check in kernel mode. Caused by (from SRR1=149030 ) Transfer error ack signal so I can't installa Fedora 16. (No problem with ppc64-DVD on an iMac G5) -- Federico Vaga

Then it just sits there. So I figure my system hardware is borked, perhaps. I download and burn the Debian PPC64 DVD iso and try to install with that. It comes up with options for install, install64 and expert and expert64. I select expert64 and installation proceeds smoothly and all in text. No graphics to be seen. Not sure what's up with the Fedora 16 installer or my system on this dual socket dual core G5 but getting an installation going is turning out to be too much like work. Dennis

Installing Fedora 16 Release on Intellistation 9111-285 headless...
by Link 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

Hih0 list, 1. Startup your Intellistation, and wait for the banner full of IBM chars. Configure the boot order to use the internal DVD drive first. 2. To access the 'Advanced System Management' WebGUI of your HMC via https:// (which is mandatory), the following SSL method must be allowed in your web browser. Under the built-in URL 'about:config' of Firefox, set: security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_40_md5;true. The standard passwords to access the WebGUI (after resetting the HMC) are: admin/admin or general/general (User/Password). 3. Depending on your current OFW state, it could be necessary to reset the NVRAM via the menu option: System Service Aids -> Factory Configuration -> Firmware. This will reset the OFW variable 'real-base' to C0000, which saves you a crash shortly after the message 'returnung from prom_init' when trying to boot from the Fedora DVD. 4. When the yaboot prompt appears, enter linux vnc vncpassword=123456789 to start. Note: Usually, the first char is sucked away, watch your typing. 5. With a GXT6500P or similar graphics board installed, we are now blind and have to tell some things to the installer in the following order: - after the screen went off (no sync), wait for the DVD to load some data for a few minutes (the DVD will be accessed 2 short times at least when finished). - enter '1' and hit return. This results in a short access to the DVD. - enter '1' and hit return again. After that the DVD loads for approx. 7 minutes, Wait for the drive to finish while the LED is on. - After 1 minute there will be a short sound from the drive. Enter '1' and press return for the last time, this will open the VNC server on remote side. 6. With the 'nmap' utility the DHCP assigned interface of port T5 will read '5901/tcp open vnc-1' and '6001/tcp open X11:1' now. Connect your VNC viewer to the IP address assigned by your DHCP server, port 5901 and password 123456789 (as told at yaboot prompt). 7. Reboot the machine via the WebGUI after the installation. Do some updates and 'write bugs'. P.S. Would be cool if someone can incorporate the GXT6500P patch from CRUX PPC to have some blazzering fast display (or display at all löl :) pP.S. here is a dmesg right after b00ting the fresh installation for the first time: [root@power ~]# dmesg [ 0.000000] Phyp-dump not supported on this hardware [ 0.000000] Allocated 1966080 bytes for 1024 pacas at c0000000073c0000 [ 0.000000] Using pSeries machine description [ 0.000000] Page orders: linear mapping = 24, virtual = 16, io = 12, vmemmap = 24 [ 0.000000] Using 1TB segments [ 0.000000] Found initrd at 0xc000000003400000:0xc000000004651c00 [ 0.000000] bootconsole [udbg0] enabled [ 0.000000] Partition configured for 2 cpus.

Fedora 16 on Power - install problems very early in the process
by Dennis Clarke 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

Yay .. Merry Christmas > We managed to squash almost all of the few remaining issues we've had > after Beta and have documented workarounds for the remaining issue we > still have in the release notes text which can be found here: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_PPC_release_notes Not too sure which list to write to so I will hit them both, first person to tell me "don't crosspost" wins :-) So I bought a Mac G5 just to run this and when I hit "c" at POST power on time I do get the yaboot prompt. So I hit enter and a pile of goodness starts to happen. All of that is text and that is good. Then I see a screen which is half black on the left and blue on the right and nothing else. No text anywhere. Nothing. I figure that for some obscure reason my G5 wants to display the center of the screen way the heck off to the right. However no amount of adjustment of my monitor will help here. I check the release notes and note this thing : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766862 I don't think that is what is happening here. Is there a pure text installer ? An option I can give to yaboot to go with pure text just so I can get the OS installed and network setup and then I can fiddle with Xorg later ? Dennis

Announcement: Release of Fedora 16 on Power
by Phil Knirsch 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

Hi everyone! As a holiday present the Fedora Secondary Arch team for Power is proud to announce the release of Fedora 16 on Power. Grab it while it's fresh from here: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/16/ppc64/ under releases/16/Fedora/ppc64 or directly from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/16/Fedora/ppc64 We managed to squash almost all of the few remaining issues we've had after Beta and have documented workarounds for the remaining issue we still have in the release notes text which can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_PPC_release_notes The most noticeable ones are the fixes to the radeon and the mga drivers to work a lot better out of the box on Power now, see: 746410 [MGA_CARD_TYPE_G550] Add /lib/firmware/matrox/g400_warp.fw into initramfs 766862 Power Mac G5 locks at boot (radeon.agpmode=-1 fixes it) Over the last months the team as well as the package maintainers put it a fantastic effort to get everything into shape to get us to this point where we can declare this to be a release. We'd also like to thank everyone who has been willing to test our Alpha and Beta versions and give us great feedback and helped to make this a pretty solid release. It's probably not perfect, but in the light of it being the first release since Fedora 12 we're pretty happy with how it turned out in the end. We'll also be releasing updates via the normal means in regular intervals, just like on the primary arch, so working with Fedora 16 on Power should give you the same experience as on Intel platforms. For Fedora-17 we're aiming to flash out the last few minor issues we've seen lurking around and to make sure we're as close as possible to primary arch from a package build state. With all that being said i'd like to wish everyone happy holidays and a happy new year from me and the whole Fedora Secondary Arch team for Power. See you next year!

Fedora 16 Beta on Power ready for testing!
by Phil Knirsch 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Long time in the making, but at long last after 6 weeks of hard work the Fedora Secondary Arch Team for Power finally managed to get the Fedora 16 Beta release done! Available from mirrors now here: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/16/ppc64/ under releases/test/16-Beta/ or directly from here: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/16-Bet… A lot of the issues we still had for Alpha have been fixed since then. The most noticeable ones are: * Firefox-8 works now on 32bit and 64bit out of the box * Gnome3 Desktop no more segfaulting * Qt4 not segfaulting all of KDE anymore * Various anaconda issues (serial console, garbled fonts to name a few) * Filesystem encryption password check working now * Numerous rebuild failures More details about this Beta release can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Beta_PPC_release_notes and we do have an official release announcement as well here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_Beta_PPC_release_announcement I want to thank everyone involved in making this happen, it's been a pretty long stretch with quite a few hurdles, but we finally got the first big milestone done towards the goal to get a Fedora 16 on Power out. We're working full steam now to get GA done by 21. of December. As usual, the whole team can typically be found on the #fedora-ppc IRC channel on FreeNode and via our email list: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ppc And we have our Secondary Arch wiki with (decently) updated information: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/PowerPC Thanks & regards, Phil -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Supervisor Core Services | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch <pknirsch(a)redhat.com> Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.com/ D-70178 Stuttgart, Germany
