Is there any patch or something to disable in the Open > firmware that could help me ? Are you sure you're not affected by the note at the top of my document? Note: I have been informed that the Linux kernel even in the aforementioned updated boot-floppies does not recognize the ATA 100 controller in relatively new PowerBook G4s as of this writing (2003-10-29). If the Debian installer cannot see any physical disks, you probably have this problem. The archives of the debian-powerpc mailing list may be useful until this page is updated with a solution. The new G4 iBooks might be using an ATA/100 controller as well. -- G.
