Colin Charles Agenda: video=ofonly for the mac mini in Fedora Core 4

  • Ignacio · 4 years ago
    Of course IBM is unfazed. Can we say "console"? And yes, OS X is teh hotness whether it's PPC or x86.

    Aye, we can all use PS3's for Linux/PPC

    The "video=ofonly" helps alot, but I'm still unable to install Fedora Core 4 on my new Mac Mini -- I get errors concerning the partition table (something like "data does not span entire partition" and "attempt to read outside the ..."). I've reformatted/repartitioned the hard drive 5 times so far (the first time was so that I could install FC4, or at least try to), but it seems that the Mac partitioning tool completely bolluxes up the partition table to a point where FC4 can't deal with it.

    Do you know if FC4 can be run off a USB connected hard drive? I purchased this mini planning to run Linux and OS X side by side, but it seems that, at least for now, they refuse to play nice.

    FC-4 can't run on a USB connected hard drive.

    If you have partitioning issues, look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.c... for a solution.

    Try and give your free partition a name in the OS X installer, as opposed to it being nameless.
