Not using dhcp - using a static IP on my lan. Network init script says it was starting, but eth0 was never brought up.
Later, when the computer starts, if ifup eth0 doesn't work, can you bring the interface up manually using ifconfig ?
It's possible that the network (ifcfg-eth0) setting set up by YDL were not sufficient for FC - I tried manually adjusting ifcfg-eth0 to look similar to the ifcfg-eth0 on an x86 FC3 box, but that didn't work - even when I tried modprobing various modules I thought might be
Why did you install YDL to bootstrap fedora? Fedora itself installs fine
responsible. I also tried running the network config tool - it didn't recognize eth0. I suspect it may be fixed by a newer kernel, but there were deps not installed when I tried to install it - I really need to get one of those USB keychain thingies, but I don't have one.
What kernel is this?
I tried modprobing mace, sungem, a few others that looked reasonable (I believe mace is the correct one) - but the installed kernel is kind of
sungem is the correct one. What iMac exactly do you have? We would appreciate lspci output
old (from C3T2). I want to try with a newer kernel before I file any bug reports. I also want to pick up a USB key before I file a bug report, to make it easier to try different kernels.
Ok
While I highly doubt this has anything to do with it, this is a first gen iMac but it has a Newer 433 G4 cpu daughtercard installed (opposed to the 233 G3 it came with) - It's the second rev of the mobo (the one used for Rev B/C/D iMacs)
Hmm, post lscpi in your next post (only to fedora-ppc list). What does /proc/cpuinfo report ? (this is just for my curiosity)
