Re: problem installing debian-506-powerpc
Hello Len,
It is happenning during the install, just after I boot from CD and
choosing 'install64' (and any *64) . Tried with all imaginable boot
parameters this problem still persists. But I also hate yaboot so I
give a chance with grub2 & squeeze.
Thank you for the advise!
Regards,
Zsombor
