Debian & MOSXServer

[Damien GUIHAL <dguihal@free.fr>]

hi all,

I have a problem and I'd like to know if anyone has experienced it :

I'm now using a G4-400 black&white. On it I've 2 IDE disks :

- On the first disk there is MacOSXServer and it is partionned as follows :

/dev/hda1     Apple_partition_map Apple                      63 @ 1          ( 31.5k)  Partition map
/dev/hda2        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                  64 @ 64         ( 32.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda3        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                  64 @ 128        ( 32.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda4              Apple_Boot MOSX_OF3_Booter         16384 @ 192        (  8.0M)  Unknown
/dev/hda5            Apple_Loader SecondaryLoader          1024 @ 16576      (512.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda6      Apple_Rhapsody_UFS Mac OS X Server 1.2   19993216 @ 17600      (  9.5G)  Unknown

-On the second disk there is Debian PPC with the bootstrap partion :

/dev/hdb1     Apple_partition_map Apple                      63 @ 1          ( 31.5k)  Partition map
/dev/hdb2          Apple_Driver43 Macintosh                  54 @ 64         ( 27.0k)  Driver 4.3
/dev/hdb3          Apple_Driver43 Macintosh                  74 @ 118        ( 37.0k)  Driver 4.3
/dev/hdb4        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                  54 @ 192        ( 27.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hdb5        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                  74 @ 246        ( 37.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hdb6         Apple_Bootstrap Apple_Bootstrap          1600 @ 320        (800.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hdb7                    Swap Swap1                  262144 @ 1920       (128.0M)  Unknown
/dev/hdb8                    Swap Swap2                  260544 @ 264064     (127.2M)  Unknown
/dev/hdb9         Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /home                 4194304 @ 524608     (  2.0G)  Linux native
/dev/hdb10        Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /var                  1433600 @ 4718912    (700.0M)  Linux native
/dev/hdb11        Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /                     6503936 @ 6152512    (  3.1G)  Linux native

Here is my problem : When the G4 is launch the screen is at 640*480 as stays on it until the linux kernel boots (and then it switch to 1024*768 : I've a 17" monitor). But the point is when I launch MacOSXServer it keeps the 640*480, and i need to login, change the resolution, logout nd relogin to be back in 1024*768. SoI'd like to know if there is a workaround in yaboot/ybin to be able to boot at 1024*768 (or another solution). Here is my yaboot.conf (minus the commented line, the post is long enough :-)) :

boot=/dev/hdb6
device=ultra1:
partition=11

delay=120

timeout=60

install=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot

fgcolor=white
bgcolor=black

image=/vmlinux
	label=Linux
	root=/dev/hdb11
	read-only

image=/vmlinux.old
	label=Linux.old
	root=/dev/hdb11
	read-only

macosx=hd:4

enablecdboot

enableofboot

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the length of the post
