Comments/Problems:
Started installation from CD-ROM (Debian Installer RC3 from from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/weekly/powerpc/sarge-powerpc-1.iso)
Selected Spanish as language, Spain and Spanish for country and USB
keyboard
Network configured manually (no DHCP server) for our lan;
192.168.10.2/24 with gateway 192.168.10.1 and nameserver 80.58.0.33
(this is the setup which i use without problems with OS X on same
computer)
Selected to determine partitions manually, and select the final free
space of disk (about 32GB) with installer help, selecting the option
one partition (for newbies).
After that, formatting, copying packages, configuration, yaboot
installation goes without errors of the installer.
The CD is ejected and the installer prompts to reboot.
After rebooting, yaboot menu appears with three options: linux, OS X or
CD (it appears that the OS 9 partition wasn't correctly detected).
Selecting CD or OS X works OK, but selecting linux changes to the
"boot:" prompt and then the following message appears:
/pci@f20000000/pci-bridge@d/mac-io@7/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:13,/boot/vmlinux
Input/output error
Now i will try to read yaboot manual, and try to boot the partitioin#13
from the CD-ROM. If you need any more information i can gather, or want
me to try some other thing, please don't doubt in contacting me. I will
be away for the weekend, but available again from Sunday night al
through the following week.
Regards
kounch
