Pants
Friday, October 8th, 2004Most silly day. I broke my pants while trying to tuck my t-shirt in. Right before going to church. While I was her place. Rest assured, I went to cell, with pants that could’ve just fallen off.
<beg-for-donations>I just realised that in terms of PPC testing, I lack ppc64 (read: G5) testing, as well as SMP testing. Kind souls reading this? I’m still mainly testing on G3’s, which are slow, old, and well, my time can be saved if I have better testing machine(s). </beg-for-donations>
Got a new Fedora PPC tree (0810), usual /dev/console not found error. So mknod /mnt/sysimage/dev/console c 5 1 was to be the fix in rescue mode, and this got the system booting just a little further. Now with complaints that /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit being read only and more related issues like my keyboard not working, etc… my poor iMac DV SE. Its not having a “good time” any longer with Fedora PPC. Apparently, its also broken on G5’s as two (including BenH!) are complaining about its brokenness.
Update: Image of the brekage after manually adding /dev/console.
