Re: Panther-Upgrade and no more linux on PBG4 12" - SOLVED :))))
Hi,
to start I'm back in Sarge with my PBG4 12".
Finally it was Ben's hint which made the day a red-letter day.
For the records: So I rsynced 2.4.23-pre5-ben0, compiled it monolithic
without that CPU-frequency scaling option.
I renamed vmlinux to linux.bin. Then I went on as Matthias Schmidt
recommended for installation on PBG4 at
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/powerbook.en.php
and 2.4.23 was up :)))
I looked on mac-fdisk's output and surprisingly for me hda2 was
Apple_bootstrap. So some crowdy error-messages tricked me to believe I
lost hda2's type during my boot-trials from macosx and cd 8-p.
There were explicitly messages like "Bootstrap of type HFS".
Then I rsync'ed 2.4.23 from my PB, make-kpkg ..., installed it.
Just to get shure I did a ybin -v before reboot (don't know if it was
necessary).
BTW hwclock was (re)set to "some day in 1970" when I booted first from
macosx, everything else seemed to be ok.
Finally, I want to thank Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Chris Tillman, Clive
Menzies, Wolfgang Pfeiffer and Eric Bachard much for spending their
time and knowledge to solve my problem.
Greetings from Bad Sauerbrunn
Georg
