System won't boot
I was wondering if anybody could help me with an
installation issue. My system will not boot, and I am
pretty sure I installed in correctly since this is the
second time I have installed Debian PPC. I have a
powerbook with a G4 processor.
Here is the exactly what happened:
I went to debian.org and got the .iso for the testing
release of Debian PPC. I got the minimal install CD.
I burned it to a CD and booted with the CD. I then
went through the installation process. It appeared to
go well, and asked me to reboot, which I did. Here is
the screen I get when I turn my computer on:
...ok
opening display /pci@f0000000/ATY,Xia_13...ok
copying of device tree...done
calling quiesce...
booting...
But it is lying when it says "booting...," because it
never does so. I even turned my computer off and on
several times-the same thing always happens. I would
greatly appreciate any help, because I can't even get
into yaboot.conf. This is annoying because I can't
get to yaboot.conf (and hence go to OS X), so all my
computer can currently do is turn on and display the
message posted above. I still have the Debian install
CD I burned if that will help. Thanks in advance for
any suggestions.
