get away without providing a compiler and source is beyond me... An
easy curlable url would be much appriciated.
The other report was from an iBook as well IIRC. If someone would loan
me
such a beast I could investigate a bit. With my Lombard and any recent
2.4
kernel I cannot reproduce any partition table write problems. Booting a
2.2.19 kernel honestly never occurred to me :-)
I'll let you know what happens with the 2.4 kernel.
<snip viable workaround>
Once the Debian side is up and running you can always trash the MacOS
partition and turn that into a Linux partition. It's a bit of a
workaround
but I don't see another way if a 2.4 kernel doesn't help.
A third way would be to burn a cd. I might try both. I noticed that I
need to use the ethernet instead of the airport card when installing
Debian. I hope I can get that working. I'm like *the* lamest newbie when
it comes to networking.
Ever thankful,
