Booting troubles with Linux 1999 and Powermac 8600/200 | |
I tried to install Linux 1999 on an external hard disk connected to a Macintosh Powermac 8600/200 with MacOs 8.6
I’ve downloaded all the necessary files from a mirror site.
During installation with linux installer, after mounting and formating root and swap partition, the linux output window display : failed to open/mnt/install//var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm rpmQuery : rpmdbOpen () failed Use of Uninitialized value at /root/bin/xli.pl line 681 Checking for installed stuff in /mnt/install/ Setting window size to 300, 321 Nethertheless, after installing default packages, I click on reboot. The rebooting session seems to work properly till the display of the repeating following lines : According to/var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running (XXX) but seems to have been murdered mysteriously.... According to/var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running (344) but seems to have been murdered mysteriously.According to/var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running (358) but seems to have been murdered mysteriously.and so on…, at least it ends with this : INIT : Id “x” respawning too fast : disabled for 5 mn And all stop. After 5 mn the same process start again and keeps going on, ending by : INIT : Id “x” respawning too fast : disabled for 5 mn Is there anybody to tell me what to do ? Thanks you a lot from Paris | |
