2.3 install woes on a pm 9500mp

[Stephane Daury]

Hi there,

Are you getting the errors during install, or when running ydl (once  
installed).

I successfully installed ydl 2.3 on a starmax 3000/180 (603e), but was  
having the same kind of problems: random kernel panic attacks (;o)  
while running it with the 2.4 kernel.

Switching to using the delivered 2.2 kernel disk image with Bootx, and  
installing the 2.2 kernel package through apt-get was my solution. It  
has been rock solid ever since. The 9500 being an OldWorld machine as  
well, you might benefit from the same tactic.

The kernel22 package is available on CD1 (or  
http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/apt/2.3/RPMS.main/kernel22- 
2.2.19-1r.ppc.rpm), and the extras for it are on the extra CD (or  
http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/apt/2.3/RPMS.extra/ 
kernel22*).

Hoping this might help.

Stephane
