Wanted to try #AdelieLinux on my old AMD K6, but despite the requirements are met the X-Server does not start.

Tried with a Matrox G400 and a GeForce2...

Ooh, nice, I think I will try this distro out now! I have been eyeing it for a while.

I would like to make sure a program I'm working on works properly on Big Endian systems, but I don't have any hardware with a Big Endian processor, so I've been looking a little bit into #qemu system emulation.

My current state is I'm trying to boot into an #adelielinux. A default installation did not work because it doesn't create an HFS or HFS+ partition for /boot and install-grub (or something related) complain about that. So I manually created the partitions and mount points in the installer and the closest to "not an error" i can get for booting is this:

"Trying to load: from: /vdevice/v-scsi@71000003/disk@8000000[...]00:2,\yaboot ... slash not found" followed by "E3405: No such device".

And I'm not sure what might be wrong exactly. Anything else I've tried so far instead gives "No such device" with less output before it.

No clue if Adelie even has #yaboot.

I'm very open for other suggestions how to get some kind of #BigEndian 64bit linux to do some compiling and running of code on, please ...
