Description Emiel de Grijs 2005-10-09 19:25:21 UTC

I try to install the Suse 10.0 for PPC on my iMac G3. After typing install one of the first messages I get is: 
"cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:12.0
moving into tempfs... Done"
After that message it apparently goes well, it finds all kinds of hardware. Just after the installation detects 
a linux console it displays the message: "please supply a config file".
The screen blanks and the only thing I see is a small cursor and the only thing I can do is poweroff the 
iMac. No typing is possible.

ok, please boot with textmode=1.

Problem solved.
"install textmode=1" worked for me.

Thanks for the quick response.
