More Details G5 Fails to Install Lenny
Some people have asked for more detail ... so, here goes...
Machine is a bog-standard iMac G5 (rev B) .
Distribution is Debian Lenny.
Messages I get after booting "install" are as follows (I have listed the
first/important words)
'loading kernel'
'kernel loaded'
'loading ramdisk'
... then the screen goes white (black printing) and the following is
displayed...
found display .........etc
copying OF device tree

Apple Powermac0,2 ....
Welcome to open firmware ...
to continue booting ...
release keys to continue...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's at this point that the machine is frozen ... and I have to do a
cold-boot.
I hope this makes my problem clear...
