Note: openSUSE 13.2 has a 64-bit userland. With our 64-bit kernel we have a whole 64-bit system for our A1-X1000. The last 64-bit system was Fedora 17 for our A1-X1000. All other systems have a 32-bit userland.

Hi Xeno,
Is openSuse supports the R7-R9 radeon cards for 3D ?

Thanks

Hi All,

I've tried to boot the openSUSE 13.2 install program from an openSUSE installation initial ramdisk today.

Download installation initial ramdisk: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/ ... c64/initrd

The installation initial ramdisk boots but unfortunately the install program exit with these following error messages:
sh: /lib64/libreadline.so.6: no version information available (required by sh)
sh: relocation error: sh: symbol rl_signal_event_hook, version READLINE_6.3 not defined in file libreadline.so.6 with link time reference
install program exit code is 127
I booted it with the vanilla kernel 4.1 RC3 and with the openSUSE kernel 3.9.8.1. I have the same problem with QEMU/"PR" KVM.

Here is the whole test:

Code: Select all

CFE> ramdisk -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd
Output:
Loader:raw Filesys:fat Dev:cf0 File:initrd Options:(null)

I think the libreadline.so.6 is the problem. I reported it to the openSUSE PowerPC developers today. I'm sorry, we have to install openSUSE 13.2 with another installed Linux currently.

I tried it with the 13.2 install initrd instead: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/ ... c64/initrd.

The installation starts. :-)
>>> openSUSE installation program v5.0.26 (c) 1996-2014 SUSE Linux GmbH <<<
But only with the text front-end.
Your computer does not fulfill all requirements for a graphical installation. There is either less than 96 MB memory or the X server could not be started. As fallback, the text front-end of YaST2 will guide you through the installation. This front-end offers the same functionality as the graphical one, but the screens differ from those in the manual
The problem isn't the memory. It has 8GB memory. The problem is the X server. It didn't work with the AMIGA one X1000 tarball either. I had to configure it with "X -configure". After that Xorg works without any problems.

Just for info:
YaST2 detected the following device

OK, the installation works.

The good old FVWM2 on openSUSE 13.2 PPC64:

PLEASE test the installation via initrd. It's very important to know if it works for you.

Hi All,

I need someone who tests the initrd installation of openSUSE 13.2. Could someone help me, please? It's very important to know if it works for you.

Thanks in advance.
