    brand new p610 boots and eventually stops with LCD error c031..

    SuSE 7.1 Installation on RS/6000 F50

    Has anyone been able to load SuSE 7.1 onto an RS/6000 I have booted from the second CD and it gives the boot: prompt but then halts. If you press enter at this point it comes back with unable to load kernel memory. Any pointers to being able to load Linux onto this F50 would be appreciated.

    no root password?

    If you boot the system with any version of 4.x.x you should be able to access the root volume group and mount the filesystems. Once you have managed to boot the system you could have a look at the inage.data file in the root directory. If a mksysb has been taken then you should have this file...

    Use the mksysb command to backup the root volume group (mksysb -i /dev/rmtx).
