Re: touble making Power Mac 7200 boot directly into Linux

[danny <danny-hembree@we.mediaone.net>]

I'm trying it on a StarMax 3000 and an older G3 powerbook, nogo on 
either. Nothing seems to boot on the StarMax I get a no init found 
error when it trys to boot linux. The 2.2.15 recommended by some has 
the same problem.

On the powerbook, 2.2.17 boots fine but X crashes randomly. The 
2.2.17pre20-ben1 won't boot at all. It gives me the welcome to linux 
and the first 6 lines of the starup. It looks like I had not checked 
"no video driver" except the video doesn't even blank out the Mac 
screen, it just writes over it.
