We’ve come a long, long way baby
Its Saturday night. FC3 is almost out. I’m sitting at home, and chatting with two others on #fedora-ppc, realising that we’re all in Australia, and are all at home on a Saturday night doing Fedora installs. This is sad. I’m young, I should be out hitting the clubs or something. On the bright side, we have more happy PPC users (jamieson, wmealing), because the rawhide tree seems to work.
So here’s the beef. Install Fedora, according to the guide. Make sure in /etc/yaboot.conf, you not only have a location, but there’s initrd= and if you want, sysmap= for initrd/sysmap. Run ybin. Probably getting the unable to load inital console bug. Easy fix. Harald’s udev doc has a section for Udev without initrd. Boot into rescue mode, and follow instructions. Reboot, have a happy PPC life. selinux=0 will get rid of avc error messages. I’ll update the guide soon, its already sitting here in Emacs RCS, I just need to spiff it up a bit.
