After the XEGS went pop yesterday I was worried it took out the Sally that I borrowed from my 800XL because it was showing an orange background on my LCD. But it gave me an excuse to try it on my space helmet TV and fortunately works fine [#RetroComputing] (https://retrochat.online/tags/RetroComputing)

time for more retro computers running the wrong retro operating systems!
this is Aladin, a very Deutsches Produkt for running Mac OS on an Atari ST
normally it required a cart with Mac ROMs in it, this is the cracked v1.3 that's all i can find on the internet, if anyone has a newer version please send it my way
first run the setup program and make sure the second floppy drive is set "nicht angeschlossen" on a single drive system or it will not work
remember it is J for Ja to save the settings
all floppies must be write enabled or it will also Nicht Funktionieren for some reason
start it up and with any luck you will be Macintosh willkommen geheißen

2023-01-24T01:12:51.000Z (smallsco@oldbytes.space)
Also, as far as I know, there's no way to mount Linux partitions (ext4) on Classic Mac OS, so I can't make changes to any files from there.
I can boot into rescue mode with init=/bin/bash - but I still can't mount the root filesystem as read/write while in that mode.
My only idea is - since the installer can boot using the standard kernel, it must have the right modules in place. Perhaps we can boot from the install ramdisk, and break into a console from there and... I dunno, copy whatever files it needs to make the standard kernel able to recognize the HD? Or maybe we can modify the ramdisk somehow or build a new one to "bootstrap" and then run the OS from the HD instead of running the installer?
That's beyond my Linux skill level at the moment, though 😕
So for now, unfortunately, that's probably the end of this project. Unless anyone here has any ideas or suggestions? 😁

2023-01-24T01:05:33.000Z (smallsco@oldbytes.space)
Now, if you look at that screen capture in the previous toot of this thread, you'll see that it fails to load kernel modules, then times out waiting for the hard disk (even though it's booting from it?!?!?) and then fails to remount the root filesystem as read/write.
I think this all happens because it can't load the kernel modules, because the running kernel is a different version from the kernel on disk! It's like trying to put two incompatible puzzle pieces together.
"But Scott!", you say, "why not just install an old version of Debian, that uses kernel 4.14 (or something close to it)?
Well, thanks to this bug: [https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2020/04/msg00019.html] (https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2020/04/msg00019.html)
if you try and install an old version of Debian m68k on a IIfx, halfway through the installation it will switch your keyboard layout and prevent you from finishing the installation.
And all the CD snapshot images with this bugfix also have kernel version 5.
[#RetroComputing] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing) [#Linux] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/Linux) [#68K] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/68K) [#VintageMac] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageMac)
2023-01-24T00:57:33.000Z (smallsco@oldbytes.space)
So, here's what makes this tricky.
To get this far, you need to use two kernels. The kernel that's on the Debian m68k netinstall ISO image (5.somethingorother) and the Mac-specific kernel (4.14) found here: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-mac68k/files/] (https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-mac68k/files/)
The Debian kernel needs to be used to install Linux. If you try to use the Mac kernel, it won't work because the installer will complain that the running kernel doesn't match the version on the CD. If you try to proceed anyway, it will crash when trying to start up the partitioner (probably because it can't load kernel modules for the filesystem type).
However, after_installing, if you try to use the Debian kernel to boot up, you will get a kernel panic because it can't find the root filesystem. I think this happens because the Debian kernel doesn't come compiled with the modules for the Mac's SCSI controller.
You can use the Mac kernel to boot up. Attached to this toot is a screen capture of what that looks like.

Well, I _kinda_ have Linux running on the Mac IIfx. I can make it to the login screen now, and type in my username and password without the keyboard acting up.
The system then hangs for about a minute, prints a message that the login attempt timed out after 60 seconds, and kicks me back to the login screen 🙃
This might be as far as the project gets. I’ll post some of the challenges I’m encountering as a reply to this thread shortly.

now that's how you publicly license historical source code

Ok, to anyone who wants to build [#FujiNets] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/FujiNets) :
There are users banging down the doors of fujinet.online, assuming that we are the only ones who build them.
I am constantly asked why we are out of stock, and I have to explain, constantly, that we only build enough to cover development costs.
My current thinking is to coordinate with you guys on the [#makers] (https://oldbytes.space/tags/makers) channel on our Discord to coordinate building these. [https://discord.gg/7MfFTvD] (https://discord.gg/7MfFTvD)
As always, the hardware repository is here:
[https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-hardware] (https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-hardware)
and the Firmware repository is here:
