 Stas | burning a CD is last resort :D | 19:53:17 |
 Puna | adelie i remember having some kernel issue with at some point | 19:53:49 |
| Stas | seems for all of them it is a matter of dd -ing the image and using boot usb0/disk:,\\:tbxi at OF prompt | 19:55:43 |
| Puna | git.adelielinux.org/adelie/packages/-/issues/1315 | 19:56:23 |
| Stas | I downloaded it first for some reason. :D | 19:56:12 |
| Puna | https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/ has some recent snapshots for ppc64 sid | 19:58:21 |
| Stas | Anna Wilcox needs some G5 HW :) | 19:57:23 |
| Puna | adelie shouldn't be too special w/r/t usb booting. if your model natively supports booting from USB, then holding Alt / Option should eventually show the installer on the USB. if it doesn't, then you'll have to enter Open Firmware via Super+Alt+O+F / Command+Option+O+F and instructing the firmware to boot some path on the usb disk | 20:05:31 |
| Puna | p much yeah | 20:05:46 |
| Puna | boot ud:,\\:tbxi might work depending on the devaliases on your machine & HFS blessing of the installer | 20:05:49 |
| Puna | if not blessed / blessed wrong, then replace \\:tbxi with a regular path to whatever the installer intends to boot. usually a grub.elf somewhere | 20:06:24 |
| Puna | i don't remember the OF command for showing path contents OTTOMH anymore xd | 20:06:53 |
| Puna | dir ud:\ maybe, smth like that | 20:08:57 |
 debtquity |
DDR2
retro
| 20:22:36 |
| debtquity | oh wait i am in exotic nix targets channel | 20:22:51 |
| Puna | ah that's what that was, aliexpress just told me that the item is unavailable in my location | 20:24:00 |
| Puna | my machine takes PC3200 DDR instead | 20:24:13 |
| Stas | this got me into grub, but the system spends eternity at "Loading" with a spinner | 21:46:51 |
| Stas | then fans go to 100% | 21:46:56 |
| Stas | tried different USB drives | 21:47:03 |
| Puna | how long did you leave it running? it'll take a good while | 21:48:30 |
| Puna | you can try uhhhh | 21:48:36 |
| Stas | let me give it some time | 21:49:38 |
| Puna | if the usb has an led on it and it keeps blinking, then it's prolly still loading | 21:52:38 |
| Stas | none of them do nowadays :D | 21:55:22 |
| Stas | i will just let it simmer for a while | 21:55:30 |
| Stas | you were totally right | 21:57:08 |
| Stas | :D | 21:57:09 |
| Stas | just takes ages | 21:57:12 |
| Puna | booting an installed system is abit faster, i promise 🙂↕️ | 21:59:25 |
