We probably do need a way to do it as one, though, if it's going to be useful (ie, so that we can have one bootable disc1 :) > Index: mk-images.ppc > =================================================================== > RCS file: /usr/local/CVS/anaconda/scripts/mk-images.ppc,v > retrieving revision 1.26 > diff -u -r1.26 mk-images.ppc > --- mk-images.ppc 4 Jun 2004 16:45:10 -0000 1.26 > +++ mk-images.ppc 5 Jul 2004 11:43:30 -0000 > @@ -80,6 +80,31 @@ > + elif [ "$KERNELARCH" = "ppc64" ]; then This isn't ever going to get hit -- see the first stanza which catches ppc64pseries or ppc64.

Or is ppc64 needed by OF? > + echo "Building ppc64 initrd" Looks the same as the pseries one (which is good), so we should be able to just have one of these. Otherwise, looks fine aside from needing to be integrated in. If we have to use ppc64 instead of ppc, then we'll want to use hard links appropriately. Also interesting to see will be if we can get one boot. iso for pseries and ppc64 macs. Jeremy
