Success!

Greetings Programs!

Well it's been a long road the past few days and I've been having all sorts of fun fixing and running into various bugs. But it's been well worth it, and now it's starting to pay off.

There are new stages out on dev.gentoo.org/~tgall. I've also placed a new g5 livecd out as well. This cd works! The version of mac-fdisk on the livecd however is b0rked. So you'll ahve to partition your disk via other routes. (Via mac osx, or via the ppc32 gentoo-livecd.) I am as I type this building a new livecd for the G5 with a newer mac-fdisk that should be better. Least in initial testing it did at least display the partition table correctly. But that's not to say it's perfect. BIG HUGE thanks to tchiwam for putting the time into mac-fdisk.

I'll have a new pseries/rs6000 livecd by Monday at the latest, Saturday at the earliest. I've been trying to buy a pseries 270 off of ebay but I can't believe how expen$ive they are! It would be nice to have for testing but the suckers are going for a couple of grand!!!! This for a dual Power3 375 Mhz 630+ box. OUCH!

Next up in the Q is iseries support, chrp support (for ppc32) and xorg x11 support. I'm quite excited about the prospect of X11 support because this is really the turning point for me where gentoo-ppc64 can self host it's own development.

Enough for one night! Take care!
