So I started over, and I appear to have finally gotten LinuxPPC
to install correctly onto my ANS 500. Because of certain, shall
we say, inconsistancies, between the installer.coff that I picked
up and the RedHat for the pre-R5 release, I was forced to use the
R4 stuff that I got on the PowerLinux CD.
The installer worked, all the way through. I was shocked. But
then when I rebooted the machine, it didn't manage to boot all
the way up... it did an automatic fsck and although it didn't find
anything wrong with my root, /usr, or /opt partitions, it died on
my /home partition (2.7 gigs). I tried, as it suggested, running
fsck.ext2 without the -a flag, and got a long story of inodes and
something-or-other numbers that should be 1 instead of 0, or 4453,
or whatever.
I'm so close I can taste it... pleeeeeease help...
