[lubuntu-users] Editing Yaboot.conf with Fortran + punch cards

[Peter Golis]

Fritz,
There is huge difference in meaning "I dont have yaboot" and "I had not modified yaboot configuration by myself". There wil be better if you will start more understable language. You had done the first step as smileys are not part of adult language, smileys are for infants. The second step shall be harder. Please try to read your words before you will send email. There is really hard to understood you.
 
Fritz, you are allways complaining about "something is not working". Once you are asked to provide some details about that issue, e.g. output of some commands, you will step back without providing it. Like few days ago with command pm-is-supported. I think you have no problem with computer.
 
So, if you really want to fix your issues, can you tell what is inside your configuration of yaboot on that affected machine (*1), and how are organized logical partitions on your physical disks (*2)?
 
Peter.
 
*1) file is located as:
        /etc/yaboot.conf
*2) partition list can be provided by command:
        sudo mac-fdisk -l /dev/sd?
Yes, question mark is at that end of line.

@Peter:

OK, very amusing; what I meant was that I don't think I had to add any boot parameters in my Yaboot.conf file in my PowerMac, and I think no xorg.conf file . . . .  I have several installs on several computers, so hard to keep it all straight in my aging mind.

Touche' . . . et tu Peter?  Too much time on your hands?

Fritz,
If you don't need configuration for yaboot to boot linux (yaboot.conf), then you had manually created boot script in Apple_Bootstrap partition using Fortran programming language or you had manually installed grub2 and followed it's configuration. Both listed options which allows to boot Linux on PowerPC require skill level expert. So, you are therefore Linux expert and you know that resume must point into swap partition.
 
Could you please share your knowledge and tell me ho did you made boot on your PowerPC machine without yaboot? I'm interested in non standard solution and I will be lucky to get your knowledge.
 
Unless you are just trolling like when I had seen your first try about booted supergrub cd on PowerPC. Supergrub had during that time released boot cd only for x86/64 architecture.
 
Peter.
