Hello,

I got SuSE Linux 7.0 for Power Mac yesterday, and have been
trying to install it on my old Power Mac 7300/180. I obtain
a command line *nix which works (can navigate directories,
use pine, vi, etc.), but I still have two major problems:


1) How do I get X Windows?  The manual warns (�8.2) to
   "Never start X until the configuration is finished.
   A wrongly configured system can cause irreparable damage
   to your hardware."

   It also seems to say in �8.4 that for a machine like mine
   (/proc/fb says it has "Control" graphic chip, hence should
   use XFree86 3.3.6, not 4.0), said configuration is mostly
   done automatically during installation, except I should
   adjust screen settings using the Framebuffer (xsfbswitch).

   Unfortunately xsfbswitch does *nothing*, and in fact an
   install log  ("Output of SuSE config") gives me the line:
   "XFree86 not configured yet! No graphical login. Check
   /etc/XF86Config."   What am I doing wrong?


2) I seem to have some serious file system trouble. On many
   a bootup, the INIT log says that /dev/sda10 (my intended
   root partition) "contains a file system with errors, check
   forced". Twice it sent me running fsck.ext2 /dev/sda10
   manually. This seems to fix a few blocks, but the problem
   ultimately reappears.

   Also, if I try to look up the partition table using YaST
   (as in �3.3.9 of the manual) I get "No partitions available"
   with fdisk error message: "Device contains neither a valid
   DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel. (...)"

   Yet the installer seems to recognize my partitions (both
   HFS (sda7,sda8) and linux (sda9,sda10)), and on shutdown I
   do get the lines: /dev/sda8 unmounted, /dev/sda7 unmounted,
   /dev/sda10 unmounted...

Any ideas?  Many thanks in advance.
