Comments/Problems:
I selected 'expert' installation and went trhough the selection of language,
territory and keyboard.
This step isn't working since when I select 'Mac Keyboard' then I get the
'Installation step failed' message.
Both the network adapter (SUNGEM) and the wireless network adapter were found.
I used the cable connection.
Then I went to the partition step. I deleted all my partition and had
40Gb of free space. Then I select 'automatically partition the free space',
I selected 'only one partition' and got a 39.4Gb for / and 512.7Mb for swap.
I then selected 'finish and save' (or something similar) and the new
message was the error 'Partition map has no partition map entry' with
two options. I selected the 'fix' option and got a new error: 'unable to
satisfy all constraints on the partition'. Then I select continue.
The the root partition was formatted as ext3 and I got a new error message:
'the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master failed.'
At this moment I went back to 'partition disks' menu that was showing me
my selected schema: one root and one swap partition.
I selected again 'finish and write..' and at the next screen I selected 'No',
so I was back at the main menu.
Here i selected again the 'partition disks' menu item and I got again my former
schema! The one I deleted! (Apple, MacOSX. swap, root, home)
So, starting from scrach, I dedided to partition manually my disk: deleted
all partitions again and created all partitions manually, but I then got
the same error about the 'partition map'
At the end I selecte the menu 'configure and mount partition' that lead me
to something like fdisk (but I still had the wrong keyboard layout!) and
'i'installed an partition map. I then went back to 'partition disks' and
found a partition called 'Apple' of 32kb. I think this is the partition map
that I delete previously. It is *very* important that partman will *not*
allow people to remove this partition.
Then I selected to automatically partition the free space and it used the
same schema as before: 39G / and 512M swap. It formatted all partitions and
complained about a missing 'apple_boot' partition required by yaboot. I think
that the automatic partition should create such partition too.
I finally managed to create all partitions but I missed the LVM: while it is
present in the partman menu, it is not possible to mark created partition
as available for LVM. so when I call the LVM menu it complains about missing
partitions.
When I ended creating all my partitions then I select 'finish partitioning and write ...'
but the installer kept complaining about a missing Apple_boostrap partition of
at least 820kb. The problem was that I did created the partition and it was
more than 820kb and it was marked as NewWorld boot partition.
I then switched back to 'partition a hard drive' to manually create a new partition
map and a new Apple_bootstrap partition. When back to 'partition disks' menu
the Apple_bootstrap partition wasn't recognized and partman suggested to use
it as ext3 file system. (Tough it did not reformat that partition but still
complained about the missing Apple_bootstrap partitiotion).
Bye,
Giuseppe
