hi everybody. due to the described problems, i decided to come back and installed aix 4.3.3. a friend told me to install suse, and googling around suse issues, i found an IBM paper that describes the same issue I am having. These guys said they had to modify debian's partition scheme and solved this problem. the article's title is "Alternative Linux distributions for POWER processor-based systems. A review of unsupported Linux distributions running on POWER5". The link is

I will tell all of you soon what happened. in case of broken, links I have a copy of it
thanks to everybody

Hey,
I want to dualboot AIX 4.3.3 und AIX 5.1 on an ibm F80 server.
Preinstalled was 4.3.3 and I installed 5.1 afterwards. After the
installation of 5.1 my server always hangs with a 0555 - Message on the LED-display.
The manual tells me that this means problems with the filesystems.

module::packaged
Module::Packaged(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Packaged(3pm)
NAME
Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Packaged;
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
# $dists is now:
# {
# cpan => '1.08',
# debian => '1.03',
# fedora => '0.22',
# freebsd => '1.07',
# gentoo => '1.05',
# openbsd => '0.22',
# suse => '0.23',
# }
# meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
# version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
# Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD
DESCRIPTION
CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for
operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.
Only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to
support everything else. Patches are welcome.
The data is fetched from the net and cached for an hour.
METHODS
new()
The new() method is a constructor:
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
check()
The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included:
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
