I know this is not the most appropriate place for this post...
Since I have not found not much support for the MkLinux setup even on the Apple page and I have not received anything from the mklinux mailing list, I thought a few helpful souls might assist me from this group.
I have install the MkLinux on a:
PowerMacintosh 6100/60AV 24M of RAM 256M Internal HD to keep native HFS (SCSI 0) 800M+ External HD partitioned as mentioned in the docs (SCSI 5) Root-partion 4 (rootdev=/dev/sdf4 this is even according to the Mklinux installer) terminated. (MacDirect HD)
Installation finishes successfully, and when I restart and get the MkLinux/MacOS version of LILO, it stated that it is booting the system from /dev/sdf4 but freezes.
I have tried installing with a combo root & usr partition and also with seperate root & usr partitions. The actual installer does not recognize the root partition as such, but allows me to install on it. I have tried to use Sliverlining and SCSI PowerTools to do the A/UX partitioning. After I partition successfully, the root partition cannot be recognized by MkLinux Installer.
Thanks for any help,
