catalyst2 creates the following for /boot and yaboot.conf on ppc: elrohir cdrom # ls -lh boot/ total 15M lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Nov 19 07:09 boot -> . -r--r--r-- 1 root root 728 Jul 9 14:15 boot.msg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2.9M Nov 19 07:07 kernelz-ppc-2.6.14-gentoo-r2-pegasos -r--r--r-- 1 root root 269 Feb 25 2004 map.hfs -r--r--r-- 1 root root 3.0K Jul 28 03:11 menu -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1.9K Mar 12 2005 ofboot.b -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4.3M Nov 19 07:07 pegasos -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1.1M Nov 19 07:08 pegasos.igz -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4.5M Nov 19 06:08 ppc32 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1.4M Nov 19 06:23 ppc32.igz -r--r--r-- 1 root root 143K Mar 12 2005 yaboot -r--r--r-- 1 root root 492 Nov 19 07:09 yaboot.conf elrohir cdrom # cat boot/yaboot.conf default ppc32 timeout 300 device=cd: root=/dev/ram fgcolor=white bgcolor=black message=/boot/boot.msg image=/boot/ppc32 initrd=/boot/ppc32.igz label=ppc32 read-write append="initrd=pegasos.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot vga=791 splash=silent" image=/boot/pegasos initrd=/boot/pegasos.igz label=pegasos read-write append="initrd=pegasos.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot vga=791 splash=silent" elrohir cdrom # a) The pegasos-kernel must not be added to the yaboot.conf b) The pegasos.igz isn't needed (it's compiled into the kernel pegasos) c) default_append_line doesn't get updated and a ppc (two times initrd=pegasos.igz), but this append-entry isn't needed on ppc, as there is a separate yaboot.conf-line for the initrd, which is correct d) The file kernelz-ppc-2.6.14-gentoo-r2-pegasos was not deleted (probably genkernel?) separated initrd= entry in the yaboot.conf
Can you verify that this is still an issue with catalyst 2.0_rc11?
Yes, as soon as I get a proper stage1 and with it a stage3 and so on compiled ;-)
Pylon: did you ever get this tested?
/boot looks better now: elrohir catalyst2 # ls -l /mnt/cdrom/boot/ total 8954 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Jan 15 18:57 boot -> . -r--r--r-- 1 root root 728 Jul 9 2005 boot.msg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 269 Feb 25 2004 map.hfs -r--r--r-- 1 root root 3074 Jan 15 18:28 menu -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1852 Mar 12 2005 ofboot.b -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2904803 Jan 15 18:55 pegasos -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4702127 Jan 12 22:55 ppc32 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1407494 Jan 15 18:53 ppc32.igz -r--r--r-- 1 root root 145460 Mar 12 2005 yaboot -r--r--r-- 1 root root 453 Jan 15 18:57 yaboot.conf But there is still the pegasos-entry in yaboot.conf. I guess, it's not possible to kill that one. But the ppc32-initrd is added properly to the yaboot.conf now (after fixing the bug for catalyst2_rc15). JoseJX told me, that he can't boot the CD on an Apple. Probably something is messed up with the yaboot.conf. We'll investingate it this weekend.
This looks good... the not booting issue was covered in another bug...
