> I am sorry for taking a bit long to list what I am been doing. I have been trying many different scenarios and using different Debian Install disks. Every Debian install disk has graphic issues when starting into Debian. As soon as the kernel boots I get funky graphic lines that wave on the screen. I don't get any of this when using the Ubuntu install disk at all. I just downloaded the latest reversion of Debian and burned the disk. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/powerpc/iso-cd/ But I can't any choice in yaboot that will give me a proper kernel to boot from.
Notice, that you should try the etch/beta3 installer, which has a much better
chance to work on your probably radeon 9700 or so graphic card.

Please, oh please, file a bug report about this issue, writing it to me
personally and/or the mailing list, will make it lost in the noise rather
quickly.
For instructions on how to file a bug report, please :
apt-get reportbug
reportbug linux-2.6
(or mail the report directly to submit@bugs.debian.org, and use Package: linux-2.6 as the first line of the body).
Friendly,
Sven Luther
