Package: yaboot-installer
Version: 1.1.34

This is a bug that appears to crop up in the beginning of the development cycle for a version of (recent) Debians.

I run an Apple PowerPC G5 Dual 2.0 with Apple-branded Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB graphics.

To be clear, this issue is with Jessie’s current yaboot functionality/compatibility with Mac OS X.

Upon finishing the installation, rebooting, and seeing the yaboot boot menu (“l” for Linux, etc.) choosing “x” or “m” for booting my respective version of OS X (“m” was able to boot OS X “Tiger” in Wheezy) flashes the screen once and does not boot any OS X at all. Only “l” to boot Debian is able to work, and this necessitates alt-booting if I wish to boot into (an) OS X at all.

I have issuing ybin -v within Debian once booted (right after installation) to see if that corrects the problem (I am addressing my OS X installations on a separate drive, /dev/sdb, and Debian is on /dev/sda with the yaboot HDD byte-codea). This did not make a difference.

I thank you in advance for follow-up.

yaboot-installer is no longer used, powerpc and ppc64 ports have moved to grub.

So closing related bugs.
