This is a summary of recent chat with BenH on #fedora-ppc about
installation of F-24 on Mac G5, so it's not lost :-)
- dracut doesn't like ISO dd-ed onto USB stick, wants a real CD (can
be USB connected)
- does ppc use isohybrid format for the ISO?
- graphics
- nouveau doesn't work with 64k pages
- nouveau wants drm stuff which aren't in the initramfs
- falls back to offb with bad palette => X is black on black
- install over VNC works
- install fails with "the package yaboot is required and not
available", but grub2 works fine
- need to find out where it is coming from (anaconda?, lorax?,
comps?)
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/pyanaconda/bootloader...
might be the line where yaboot gets included in the package set
(possible workaround - comment it out in the running installation) and
with
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/pyanaconda/bootloader...
we could switch Macs to grub2 ...
- could be worked around - maybe with kickstart (-yaboot) or an
extra repo with fake Provides: yaboot, until there is a proper
solution
