Linux for PPC Japanese Edition (hereinafter abbreviated as Linux), which is one of the views ) Outlines the installation of. Other settings after installation I'll leave it to the text here, and here I've successfully launched Linux according to a typical installation method. Keep in mind the information and procedures needed to get it working. ☆ Compatible models Unlike Mac OS, Linux doesn't currently work on all models. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~jonh/lppc-cache/350.html Currently lists the models that can be booted with the PowerPC architecture. Some models require a hard landing. As far as I know I will outline the compatible models here while taking up such things as much as possible. U. [68K Macintosh] Linux for PPC Japanese Edition 1.0 works only on Power Macintosh. Does not work on models with a 680X0 CPU. In addition, PowerPC cards are available for models equipped with 680X0. Cannot be started even with the However, by replacing the motherboard, the first generation Can be installed on Power Macintosh equivalent upgrades That's right. [Power Macintosh with NuBus] For NuBus models, currently only MkLinux can be installed. Start with the following models It has been confirmed that it can be done. 　Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, 8100, 8115, 9150 (and its derivatives) 　Radius 81/110, Pioneer MPC-GX1 (and its derivatives) 　PowerBook 5300, 1400, Duo 2300 Can be installed on PowerBook 5300, 1400, but SCSI I / F does not work Therefore, pre-populate the Mac OS partition with all RedHat folders on the CD-ROM. You need to copy it and use it to install. Therefore, hard day Installation is not possible if there is not enough space. PowerBook Duo 2300 is similar It is said that it can be installed by law, but I said that it could be installed with 2300 I don't listen to that story. Unfortunately, MkLinux on NuBus models with 5200 6300 series 603 / 603e CPUs / Linux-Neither of Pmac works. [Power Macintosh with PCI Bus] Almost all machines except the latest Power Macintosh G3 (with FireWire) Works with seeds. This was sold by PowerBook 2400 and non-Apple companies. Includes compatibles, as well as the latest G3 Macs and G3 PowerBooks. MkLinux also works However, this CD-ROM only supports Linux-Pmac, which has less trouble. I try to do it. However, for the iMac, read below. [iMac] The iMac is one of the most difficult to install. The surprise of the Linux community The iMac's USB driver is tentatively available due to extraordinary development capabilities The current situation is that we have arrived. Keyboard and mau for installation Please remove all USB devices other than the USB device. This time iMac dedicated installer, We have prepared a patch package for the kernel and iMac. iMac you Zah should read the notes in the text without omission. ☆ Required specifications If the above compatible models are applicable, check whether the following required specifications are met. I need to find out. A combination of typical packages that can launch the X Window System If you have 500MB or more of free hard disk space and 48MB or more of memory, there is a problem. Works without, but preferably uses a hard disk of 1GB or more and memory of 64MB or more I want to mean. The Japanese version installer works normally without about 48MB of memory. Do not make. If you want to try installing Linux with less memory, it's included Please use the English version of the installer. ☆ Partitions and names of disks in Linux Next, prepare a partition area to install Linux, but before that, par Explains the disk name (device name) in the station and Linux like this. A partition is a place where a hard disk is divided into several partitions and used. Refers to the "compartment". Some readers have a hard disk on the Mac OS desktop Some people may have multiple icons for the screen. Such a person has a number of icons Only partitions are used. As a general rule, the Power Macintosh version of Linux can be installed. "Ext2 file built on an Apple_UNIX_SVR2 (A / UX) format partition It is a system, which is different from Mac OS. For Mac OS, "Apple_HFS" HFS (or HFS +) file system built on (HFS) format partitions It becomes "Tem". Here's what the partition on the actual hard disk is I'll take a look. MacOS Utilities on CD-ROM-> pdisk 0.7a4 format Start the application called pdisk in the data, and on the screen that appears, the following Enter L (uppercase L) in and hit the return key. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- This app uses the SIOUX console library Choose'Quit' from the file menu to quit. Use fake disk names (/dev/scsi. ; ie /dev/scsi0.1, /dev/scsi1.3, etc.). Top level command (? For help): L [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Pdisk will then scan all SCSI and ATA buses connected to the Macintosh. Can and output all the partition information of the found disk to the screen in order To. You should see some output like the following. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on'/ dev / ata0.0' (/ dev / hda) #: type name length base (size) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 12594255 @ 704 (6.0G) Device block size = 512, Number of Blocks = 12594959 (6.0G) DeviceType = 0x0, DeviceId = 0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 19, type = 0x701 2: @ 118 for 31, type = 0xf8ff -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Looking at this sample, how to specifically partition Mac OS partitions I would like you to have a quick understanding of what has been done. The first line shows which disk information it is. In the sample, / dev / It says that it is the partition information of ata0.0 (/ dev / hda). / dev / ata0.0 Because the name refers to the disk attached to the primary master of the ATA bus. That's right. ATA, such as the factory-shipped G3 Power Macintosh and Power Macintosh 4400 This is the boot disk for models that use the bus. On the ATA bus -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Primary name 　　Master (normal boot disk) / dev / ata0.0 (/ dev / hda) 　　Slave (usually empty) /dev/ata0.1 (/ dev / hdb) Secondary 　　Master (usually CD-ROM) / dev / ata1.0 (/ dev / hdc) 　　Slave (usually empty) /dev/ata1.1 (/ dev / hdd) -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- It is named like. There are two ways to call it, but / dev / ata0.0 etc. Only this pdisk can be called, and on Linux, such as / dev / hda in parentheses. I use this name regularly, so let's use this name. The second line is the heading part of the third and subsequent lines. In pdisk, par under # Tition number, type (type), name (partition name), length (area size) ), Base (the position of the beginning of the partition), size (approximate capacity) are displayed. On the third line, the partitions actually cut on the disk are displayed in order. It has been. Looking at this, in addition to the area that users use from Mac OS, Mac OS You can see that there are some small partitions used by. Therefore, until now The partition we were using from Mac OS is the 5th in the sample To. In Linux, individual media such as hard disks that can be partitioned A table with numbers such as / dev / hda5 and the name of the disk to represent the partition. So let's remember this too. For SCSI drives, it's a bit more annoying than ATA. A Mac with the following device configuration Let's say there was. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Internal bus External bus ID 0 ... Hard Disk ID 2 ... Hard Disk ID 3 ... CD-ROM ID 3 ... CD-R ID 4 ... ZIP drive ID 6 ... MO drive -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- SCSI drives start with sd, whereas ATA is hd. Linux is internal Scan the SCSI bus in the order of bus, then external bus (if there is an external bus), starting with a I will give a name to. However, the CD-ROMs are named scd0, scd1 ... separately. That is, it is named as follows. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Internal bus name ID 0 ... Hard disk / dev / scsi0.0 (/ dev / sda) ID 3 ... CD-ROM / dev / scsi0.3 (/ dev / scd0) ID 4 ... ZIP drive / dev / scsi0.4 (/ dev / sdb) External bus name ID 2 ... Hard Disk / dev / scsi1.2 (/ dev / sdc) ID 3 ... CD-R / dev / scsi1.3 (/ dev / scd1) ID 6 ... MO drive / dev / scsi1.6 (/ dev / sdd) -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- pdisk can also use its own nomenclature / dev / scsi, but on Linux systems / Names such as dev / sda are commonly used, so let's use them. Also, The partition is named in the same way as the ATA drive, such as / dev / sda5. To. Once you understand the above, the party to actually install Linux Let's start creating a session. ☆ Create a partition for Linux There are two ways to create an installation area for Linux. One is new How to prepare a disk for Linux and use it entirely, the other is an existing one Repartition the disk to free up Linux installation space It is a method to do. Of course, the latter is more difficult. Transfer Mac OS to another disk It is not recommended unless you have experience in backing up or backing up. Confidence If you don't have one, it's a good idea to have one dedicated disk for Linux. The procedure is It looks like below. 1) Backup of existing disk Required if you want to create a Linux partition on an existing disk, but whichever Regardless of the law, be sure to back up the contents of existing discs. Ins If you are accustomed to Thor, you may not need to make a backup, but If you make a mistake when editing a partition with pdisk in 3), you will need it at worst. It is possible that all files will disappear and Mac OS will not boot. In such a thing No one can save it. 2) Format the disk where you want to install Linux Format the corresponding disc with a suitable formatter. [When applying a new disk to Linux] You can format it straight with the HFS standard, but for files with Linux Separately prepare a dedicated HFS area for delivery (32MB to 256MB is sufficient) Is better. Linux can read and write HFS partitions on Mac OS, The port is incomplete and it breaks the HFS filesystem little by little when writing Let's go. Create a dedicated area to prevent damage to your Mac OS system Is the purpose. In this case, the HFS standard would create two partitions. To. Linux doesn't support the HFS extension (HFS +). [When extracting Linux area from an existing disk] Calculate the capacity so that the original Mac OS files can be restored from the backup Partition. At a minimum, the area that holds existing Mac OS files Requires (HFS Extended or Standard) and HFS space to be modified later for Linux However, as mentioned in the case of a new disk, Linux files were passed. It is desirable to have another dedicated HFS area for this purpose. Not from the CD-ROM Or when installing from a hard disk (PowerBook 5300, 1400, Duo 2300 requires) from the CD-ROM to the RedHat folder and mach_servers in the HFS area Since you need to copy the folders as they are, use the capacity of the two folders in the HFS area. Calculate in addition to the capacity of the region. In this case, the type of HFS area should be HFS extension. must not. Restore Mac OS files after formatting. I created a Linux area on an existing disk, so the following partitions Became. The sixth partition (/ dev / hda6) is a Linux and Mac OS facade It is a partition for delivery of ill. (What I saw on pdisk.) -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on'/ dev / ata0.0' (/ dev / hda) #: type name length base (size) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 6291456 @ 704 (3.0G) 6: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD2 523334 @ 6292160 (255.5M) 7: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD3 5779466 @ 6815494 (2.8G) -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- 3) Create an AU / X partition with pdisk Let's start pdisk. Once started, first use the L command as before to do everything Let's look at the partition map of the disk. This disk to install Linux Could you see which one is and what the name is on Linux? Then, actually Let's create a partition for Linux (A / UX partition). Par To start creating a partition, use the e command with the device name to change the partition. Attach and hit the return key. In my case, it's / dev / hda, so it looks like this: To. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Top level command (? For help): e / dev / hda [return] Edit / dev / hda- Command (? For help): -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Hereafter, the partition is changed. The partition of the disk is described This is called a partition map. First partition of the sample The type of (/ dev / hda1) is Apple_partition_map, which is exactly that. It corresponds to that. pdisk edits the partition map. This is a very dangerous line Therefore, it is always next to the data loss of the entire disk. so that, pdisk does not change the partition map unless you run the w command after editing It has become. So at any time unless you run the w command You can quit pdisk with Command + Q and start over. Start editing the partition map. First of all, I'm sure I will change it for Linux Delete the reserved HFS area and free the area. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Command (? For help): p [return] Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on'/ dev / hda' #: type name length base (size) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 6291456 @ 704 (3.0G) 6: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 2 523334 @ 6292160 (255.5M) 7: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 3 5779466 @ 6815494 (2.8G) Device block size = 512, Number of Blocks = 12594959 (6.0G) DeviceType = 0x0, DeviceId = 0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 19, type = 0x701 2: @ 118 for 31, type = 0xf8ff Command (? For help): d [return] Partition number: 7 [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- The p command displays the partition of that disk. Current status with this p command After confirming, the d command is used to delete the 7th partition. After that, if you check again using the p command, the deleted partition is next It should have changed. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- 7: Apple_Free Extra 5779466 @ 6815494 (2.8G) -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- The Apple_Free area is literally a vacant lot that you can freely delineate. The vacant lot Now that we have it, we will create a partition for Linux here. First, let's create a swap partition used by virtual memory. Virtual on Mac OS The storage area is provided in the HFS partition, but in Linux it is dedicated in principle. Create a partition for. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Command (? For help): c [return] First block: 6815494 [return] Length in blocks: 96m [return] Name of partition: swap [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Partitions can be created with the c command. Par to create a partition You must specify the size of the block and partition at the beginning of the titon Absent. In the sample, the starting block is 6815494 and the partition size is It is specified as 96m. There are two ways to size the partition. One is bu The lock length is specified by adding'm' after the number. It is specified in MB units. Here, the latter method was specified, but the former method was used. When specifying, it will be as follows. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Length in blocks: 196608 [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- The swap partition can be freely created with a size between 32MB and 128MB. With memory A total of 144 MB or more should be fine. It is also possible to make multiple and use However, one is enough for normal use. The name of the swap partition is Specify'swap'. Next, secure an area to actually install Linux. At this point Apple_ If the remaining Free space is 2GB or less, use all the remaining space and name it'root' Create one main partition on the previous Linux. sample Apple_Free has 2.7GB of space left, but one root partition for illustration purposes I will cut only. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Command (? For help): p [return] Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on'/ dev / hda' #: type name length base (size) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 6291456 @ 704 (3.0G) 6: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD2 523334 @ 6292160 (255.5M) 7: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 196608 @ 6815494 (96.0M) 8: Apple_Free Extra 5582858 @ 7012102 (2.7G) Device block size = 512, Number of Blocks = 12594959 (6.0G) DeviceType = 0x0, DeviceId = 0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 19, type = 0x701 2: @ 118 for 31, type = 0xf8ff Command (? For help): c [return] First block: 7012102 [return] Length in blocks: 5582858 [return] Name of partition: root [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- After checking the current status with the p command, create a partition with the c command. p command Before executing the c command, the values of base and length are executed in advance. Because you need to know. First block is the value of base, Length in By entering the value of length as it is in blocks, the remaining Apple_Free can be entered. All can be used up. (If you specify'm', fractions will remain.) If it is more than that, divide the partition a little more finely. Various poly There is a way to divide the sea, but here there are three parties,'root',' usr', and'home'. I will explain how to divide it into two. In my experience, in a normal installation (use (If you don't narrow down)'root''home''usr' should be around 1: 1: 2. Looks good. Ratio when using the machine after installation as a server or development The rates vary considerably, but these are not discussed here. Less than 2GB As always, try to use up the Apple_Free space. When it's done Let's check once for any mistakes. After checking, finally w command Execute and rewrite the partition map. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Command (? For help): w [return] Writing the map destroys what was there before. Is that okay? [N / y]: y [return] The partition table has been altered! Reboot your system so the partition table will be reread. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Finally, run the p command again to see what the partition looks like Let's take a note of. In the case of the sample, it was as follows. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Command (? For help): p [return] Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on'/ dev / ata0.0' (/ dev / hda) #: type name length base (size) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA * Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 6291456 @ 704 (3.0G) 6: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD2 523334 @ 6292160 (255.5M) 7: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 196608 @ 6815494 (96.0M) 8: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 1392640 @ 7012102 (680.0M) 9: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home 1392640 @ 8404742 (680.0M) 10: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 usr 2797578 @ 9797382 (1.3G) Command (? For help): q [return] Top level command (? For help): q [return] -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- This completes editing the partition map. Let's restart the Mac once. ☆ Until the installer starts The procedure to start the installer for installing Linux is as follows Become. 0) Open the "Date & Time" control panel and see if the time zone is Japan Check if. If it does not match, set it to Japan and set the time correctly. When. 1) Open the "Memory" control panel and turn off virtual memory. 2) For models that can sleep, open the "Energy Saving Settings" control panel. Set the non-operating time until sleep to "No". 3) If MacsBug is included, remove it. 4) Open the "Monitor" control panel, increase the number of colors to 32000 colors or more, and increase the resolution. Set in the range of 640x480 to 1280x1024. The installer should be lowered in resolution. Works faster. If you really don't have enough colors, run the installer on a black and white screen. Since it can be operated with, the number of colors may be set appropriately. For iMac, set the number of colors to 256. The screen is blank for other colors Phenomena such as blackening or the screen being disturbed without synchronization may occur. 5) PowerBook 5300, 1400, PowerBook Duo 2300, etc. from hard disk If you want to stall, put the RedHat and mach_servers folders on the CD-ROM. Drag it to the hard disk icon and copy it. At this time, which HFS Make a note of the device name (name on Linux) that you copied to the partition Let's go. After that, it is different between MkLinux and Linux-Pmac. [For MkLinux (NuBus model)] 6) Mac Files-> Mach Kernel and MkLinux Booter in the MkLinux folder In the function extension folder, MkLinux control panel in the control panel, Copy lilo.conf and MkLinux.prefs to the initialization folder. 7) Open the MkLinux Control Panel and click the Custom button. To do And SimpleText launches and opens the lilo.conf file. 8) Notice the line that says rootdev = / dev / scd0. This is mach_servers form The Linux name of the partition where the data resides must be written. Since the mach_servers folder exists on the CD-ROM, this is the model equipped with the SCSI CD-ROM. The installer can be started from the built-in CD-ROM with the settings of. G3 Mac, 4400, etc. For models with an ATA (IDE) CD-ROM, this is rootdev = / dev / hdc, etc. Become. Those who install from the hard disk just made a note Write the device name of the partition to which mach_servers is copied after rootdev = Let's get in. 9) Click Restart Now to restart your Mac and use the boot selector that appears. Click the MkLinux button. [For Linux-Pmac (PCI Bus model)] 6) Mac Files-> BootX Extension in the LinuxPPC folder Extension folder In, BootX App in Control Panel, BootX Settings in Preferences folder Put vmlinux and ramdisk.image.gz in the system folder respectively. For iMac, replace some files with Mac Files-> iMac Phone Make it the same name in Ruda. 7) Open the BootX App Control Panel and click the Linux button. ☆ Installation The screen changes, and after a while, the installer screen on a blue background appears. This ins Tora is from hardware setting to software selection and installation You can make basic settings to run Linux. First mosquitoes Insufficient number of colors / grayscale model because it switches between black and white screen In the case of, answer "No" to the question. (For black-and-white screen installation, distribution Due to the color, the progress bar that shows the progress of the process turns black and does not make sense. However, other than that, it can be operated in the same way as color. ) I will explain in order below. The installer is slightly different for iMac and others. Please note that it cannot be shared. The installer for iMac is at the top of the screen You can check it because "-iMac-" is displayed. 0) Start installation Now let's start installing Linux. After reading the contents, press OK first move on. 1) Keyboard selection Apple-ASCII and apple-JIS options are available at the beginning of the Mac keyboard. It has been. Select one according to your keyboard. For kana keys What is meant is a JIS keyboard. On iMac, this selection screen is skipped and you cannot select the keyboard. This version of Linux for PPC Japanese Edition has a USB JIS keyboard It takes some effort to handle. First, the keys on the console (text-only screen) The board arrangement cannot be JIS. On the X Window System, the following line By writing to / etc / sysconfig / keyboard (although not complete) It can be a JIS array. -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- KEYTABLE = "/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/usb-JIS.map" -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- 2) Installation media Select the installation from the "Installation CD". From "hard disk" For models that require installation, select that. 3) Selection of installation method Select "New installation". 4) Edit partition Since the partition has been edited by pdisk, just select "Next". You can proceed. If you want to change the previous settings, now It is possible to redo the partition edit once. Select the disc name up and down, "Edit" starts pdisk. 5) Root partition selection Look at the paper notes you took after editing with pdisk and named the partition'root' Let's select the device name of. If you get a partition size warning before this screen appears, it should exceed 2GB. There are partitions large enough for MkLinux to have the following other pars: Don't use it on a titon mount. 6) Mount other partitions All partitions except the one named'root'are set here. Can be done on Mac OS The raised partition will appear on your desktop immediately, but on Linux it will be automatic. Is not configured (auto-mounting the partition). so that, Those who created partitions named'home' and'usr' at startup here It is necessary to set it to mount automatically. (Root partition Is already set as you can see on the screen. ) The specific method is as follows. [1] Use the up and down arrow keys to line the label with'home'(or'usr') Move the blue bar to. [2] Hit the tab key several times to select "Edit" and hit the return key. [3] Set the mount point in the mount point edit window that appears. In the blue input area, type / home for'home'(/ usr for'usr') Then hit the tab key again to select OK and hit the return key. Both'home'and'usr' can be mounted by the above method. Similar method You can also set up a Mac OS partition (HFS partition) with. With a sample Decided / dev / hda6 as a partition for interacting with Linux, so here is / I decided to mount it on a mac. 7) Activate swap To make swap space available on Linux, call mkswap and swapon Operation is required. We do that here. "Check for bad blocks" If you check the radio box of, it will check the disc carefully. However, it takes a very long time to execute. 8) Specify the location of the RedHat folder For those who chose to install from a "hard disk", here is the RedHat format Specify the device name and location where the data is placed. The device name where you put the RedHat folder is It should be written down on a piece of paper. Select the partition name with the up and down keys, and then OK Just press. The RedHat folder is a hard disk as described in this article Double-click the icon of the desk and place it so that it exists in the opened window If so, the location of the RedHat folder is the default and does not need to be modified. I. 9) Format selection In order to actually make the partitions created so far on Linux available, An operation called mkfs is required. Run it for which partition here Set whether to do it. (The actual format is at the time of 11 system installation It is executed based on the settings here. ) All partitions used by Linux Mark the geobox and press OK. As with swapping, "bad block" It takes a lot of time to specify "Check". Swap has a small area It's not so much, but the area to format here is large, so it's a place to turn it on In that case, I would like you to be prepared accordingly. 10) Package selection Select the package to install. Take for the first installation We recommend that you install with the default settings for the time being. As you get used to it You can adjust the components to be installed by yourself, or go further and Select select cages individually and install any of the hundreds of packages It's a good idea to decide for yourself. This area is the Mac OS in Same as stall. For now, leave the default installation and press OK I will move on. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------- | --Notes on using the English installer --| | Linux for PPC Japanese Edition 1.0 to support iMac XiMac | We have a package called |.
