Hello, I found Pasi's site (http://centos.upi.iki.fi/pub/centos/4/os/ppc/) describing how to get CentOS working on a IBM 7043-150 43p CHRP 604e RS/6000 box. I have the exact same machine. I followed his instructions and got the version of CentOS he provided working on my system. [root at murray ~]# uname -a Linux murray 2.6.9-5.0.3.102.EC #1 Sun Mar 6 18:32:26 EET 2005 ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux [root at murray ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.0 (Final) I thank him for posting the files and his instructions! Is anyone else running CentOS on IBM RS/6000 hardware? Does anyone know if CentOS will formally distribute a ppc version for my hardware? I've only found one problem with CentOS so far -- liblaus is missing, so I can't use passwd to change passwords. [root at murray ~]# passwd richard passwd: error while loading shared libraries: liblaus.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root at murray ~]# ldd /usr/bin/passwd libuser.so.1 => /usr/lib/libuser.so.1 (0x0ffcb000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0ff7e000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x0ff16000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x0fef2000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0fece000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x0fe1d000) libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x0fdf4000) libpam_misc.so.0 => /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 (0x0fdd0000) liblaus.so.1 => not found libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x0fda0000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0fc43000) libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x0fc1a000) /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000) Have you encountered this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you again for helping me get my 7043-150 doing something useful! Sincerely, Richard PS: Has anyone tried running other Linux distros? I did not have any luck booting the latest Debian (debian-31r0a-powerpc-binary-1.iso) or NetBSD (2.0.2, prepcd.iso) on this system, but maybe I wasn't using the right OpenFirmware commands.
