New: installing on g4



hi all,

partitioning of hdd works now, thanks to Ethan Benson...

hda1    Apple_Partition_Map
hda2    Apple_Bootstrap
hda3    Apple_UNIX_SVR2    swap
hda4    Apple_UNIX_SVR2    root

on first bootup (cd-rescueimage root=/dev/hda4) after installing basesystem
2.2r3 strange things happens like the older trials:
    ...
    Freeing unused kernel memory: 168k init 28k swap
    init: error in loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6 undefined
symbol: <waste>
...system hangs...

second bootup: (cd-rescueimage root=/dev/hda4 - a little more working)
    ...
    Starting internet superserver: inetd
    debconf: package "base-config" is not fully installed
    <repeated 6 or 7 times>
    Init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
...nothing more on this console
on console 2 rootlogin is possible...
 command: mkofboot --boot /dev/hda2 -m /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot --root
/dev/hda4 --partition 4
 editing /etc/yaboot.conf
 command: ybin

third bootup (starting from ofboot): same as first
fourth bootup (ofboot): same as first
sixth bootup (rescueimage root=/dev/hda4): same as first... and so on...

i wonder if something is wrong with installation cd, but copying and
extracting the base system and so on works well on installation...

-maybe there is something with hardware - i have no other operating system
for g4 yet...
-maybe kernel 2.2r3 makes problems with g4-400 pci...
-maybe i'm wrong...

any hints???
