<H2>SheepShaver doesn't boot</H2>
|
|
|
|
SheepShaver should boot all MacOS versions >=7.5.2, except MacOS X. However,
|
|
your mileage may vary. If it doesn't boot, try again with extensions disabled
|
|
(by pressing the shift key) and then remove some of these extensions:
|
|
"MacOS Licensing Extension", Speed Doubler, 68k FPU extensions and MacsBug.
|
|
|
|
<H2>The colors are wrong in 16 or 32 bit graphics modes</H2>
|
|
|
|
If you're running SheepShaver on a something other than a PowerMac, it may be
|
|
that 16 or 32 bit graphics modes show false colors due to the frame buffer being
|
|
little-endian. Apart from patching the X server, there's unfortunately nothing
|
|
that you or SheepShaver can do about this.
|
|
|
|
<H2>Full-screen mode doesn't work</H2>
|
|
|
|
Some X servers on Linux PPC don't support DGA and full-screen mode cannot be used
|
|
with these (in this case, you should disable it in the "Graphics" settings). If you
|
|
are seeing a message like "cannot map /dev/kmem (permission denied)", you have to
|
|
either run SheepShaver as root (not recommended) or give yourself appropriate access
|
|
rights to /dev/kmem if you can login as root.
|
|
|
|
<H2>Ethernet doesn't work</H2>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>You have to either install the sheep_net driver or configure the ethertap device in the Linux kernel to use Ethernet. See <A HREF="using.html">Using SheepShaver</A> for more information.
|
|
<LI>If you're using TCP/IP on the MacOS side, you have to set up different IP addresses for Linux and for the MacOS.

|
|
<H2>SheepShaver crashes, but yesterday it worked</H2>
|
|
|
|
Try the "Zap PRAM File" item in the main menu of the SheepShaver preferences editor.
|
|
When you are using a ROM file and switching to a different ROM version, you <B>have</B>
|
|
to zap the PRAM file or SheepShaver might behave very weird.
