Hi here, are there any Pegasos users using Gentoo? Especially the hardware platform Pegasos II? I am looking for experiences about building an own kernel for this architecture. I compile them by myself for some years, but I think I could be better if I find someone else who is building kernels for Pegasos II. I am interested to exchange/talk about config files and so on. Unfortunately Gentoo seems to have dropped kernel support for Pegasos for some years. No installation disk contains a kernel for this hardware.

Hi all, AFAIK, some packages (e.g., dev-cpp/eigen) can use AltiVec vectorization only when -mabi=altivec is specified in GCC flags. Is it safe to use -mabi=altivec in global CFLAGS in make.conf? Does anybody know if the system will perform better or worse in average? -- -- Regards, Konstantin

Hi, OK, I'm dead tired. I admit it - yaboot has kicked my butt this time around. Can anyone help? I did post this problem here 2-3 weeks ago but still haven't been able to solve the problem so I'm back to the well for another drink. The machine is the original 80GB PPC Mac Mini. I used to run Gentoo on it and it ran great for years so I know at one time yaboot worked just fine. For various reasons I hadn't updated it in a long, long time (2 years) and instead of trying to go through the Gentoo update process which is difficult after that much time I decided to just do a new install. I saved copies of my kernel config and etc/make.conf but unfortunately, being primarily an x86 guy didn't think to save yaboot.conf and fstab. I've now done 5 complete Gentoo installs, starting over from scratch in case something I was doing was messing things up but so far I cannot get the machine to boot. Every time, no matter what I do at install time, I get a message "Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to a missing mtab file" A somewhat out of focus screen shot is shown here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29328985 <at> N03/5014227831 Generally speaking I'm following the Gentoo PPC install guide located here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml?part=1&chap=10 I've tried both the yabootconfig method as well as manual route. Nothing works for me so far. THey both fail the same way. It's not in the photo but all the way through the boot the kernel calls the hard drives /dev/hda so I'm assuming that's correct in fstab. The kernel is 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 and the kernel config file is attached. ext3 is built into the kernel so that shouldn't be a problem. I built the kernel using the older 2.6.31 kernel config I saved. As a _hardware_ test I reinstalled the old OS X that came with the machine and it boots fine. I blew it away and installed Ubuntu 10.04 for the PPC and it boots fine, but Ubuntu uses and initrc which I've never used before with Gentoo. (And why on this machine as the hardware is fixed has kernel drivers.) I'm a long time Gentoo user. The main Gentoo install seems to work fine on this machine. As best I can tell it's only the yaboot stuff not booting that's holding me up from using this little machine again. Can anyone see what I've done wrong?

Hi,
Sorry for a semi-cross post between the yaboot list and
Gentoo-ppc-users. I'm hoping to get this worked out today.
I had trouble a week ago getting a new Gentoo PPC install to boot
on my Mac Mini so for kicks I tried Ubuntu which booted fine. I'd like
to get back to running Gentoo and I'm wondering what information I
should retain from my Ubuntu installation. The new Gentoo install is
back on the Mac Mini and completely up to date, so if I can work out
the booting issue I should be good to go. I have not emerge yaboot as
of yet as I don't want to break Ubuntu until the last moment if
possible.
To boot do I need anything beyond the info contained in the Ubuntu
yaboot.conf, the hard drive partitioning and fstab to get Gentoo
working? That's should be enough to somehow construct things correctly
in Gentoo, correct?
Also, the Ubuntu install used an initrd. I presume this is because
their one-size-fits-all approach probably requires drivers to boot a
lot of different machines. Previously when I had this Mac Mini running
Gentoo I didn't use one. I don't need to, correct? (Assuming I can
find and build in the right drivers?) Is there anything about yaboot
vs grub that makes it prefer an initrd? For now I used the Ubuntu
.config for my Gentoo kernel and figured I'd trim it down later after
I get the machine at least booting.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi all,
I have a Mac Mini that I've used for the last couple of years. I
was trying to get it up to date but at some point it failed with a
message about the main root partition not being an ext2 filesystem. I
took the opportunity to rebuild the machine from scratch, at this
point twice, but I continue to get the same message. I'm trying to
determine if something about the machine is completely hosed and the
machine will never work again or if it's just some problem I'm having.
In these rebuiilds I went the direction of completely wiping the
hard drive and starting from scratch. I used mac-fdisk, hit 'i', had
only the Apple partition map, and then created the next 3 partitions
as per the install guide. The installs (both of them) went cleanly and
I didn't seem to have any problems running yabootconfig as far as I
can tell. No complaints from the software except for my typing a path
to the kernel incorrectly a couple of times. Once I got that right it
seemed to finish and created the yaboot.conf file below.
When I attempt to boot the system finds the kernel, does all the
early boot stuff, says it finds /dev/hda and /dev/hda, then it starts
the init stuff with the green '*' and [OK] on the right until it wants
to mount the root partition. At that point it tells me the partition
is wrong, not ext2, and quits.
I don't understand how the partition can be incorrect if it's good
enough to find the kernel to boot.
Can someone set me right on what I might be doing incorrectly here.
If the info below isn't enough let me know what you need.
Thanks,
Mark

I was going to download a new iso today. My old PowerPC Mac Mini needs to be rebuilt and it's so far out of date I figured I'd just do it from scratch. Anyway, it seems that all the other architectures have fairly recent iso image dates while the PowerPC seems to be a year old. http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/ppc/autobuilds/current-iso/ Or maybe this is just a date problem on the files or something. - Mark
