Machine: Imac, 1st generation

Comments/Problems:
While rebooting, shows "Loading Kernel" then freezes completely. Cannot
switch off then, so have to unplug mains cable.
Tried many IDE configurations (master and slave), pram reset, kernels
2.4 and 2.6.
Now after almost 2 days of trying, I managed to get a woody stable
system running by using the LordSutch.com ISOLINUX mini-ISO Image
woody-powerpc-1.iso. This works without problems.
