Thanks very much, got it successfully (though for others wishing to use it, it depends
on perl-5.004, so it can't be used with newer perl5-dependent packages).
Update on the X problem: I set $FRAMEBUFFER to /dev/fb1 (unsupported MacPicasso 540
via offb), and Xfb started just fine! (Well, 640x480 with the jacked-up colormap.)
This tells me that /bin/hostname is not causing my Xfb problems.
Is there something wrong with atyfb in 2.2.10? I get a white screen with the cursor,
except the cursor only shows up if I move the mouse very fast, and doesn't erase its
old positions. (Tried setting FRAMEBUFFER to /dev/fb0 to point to atyfb, same
breakage.)
Is there a 2.3.x kernel that runs decently on PPC? I couldn't get 2.3.11 to build.
Thanks again,
