Re: Wheezy

So the initial install of Wheezy went okay? Do you mean the crash happened while updating your /etc/yaboot.conf file with the new initrd info?  Can you boot into rescue mode off of the installer and mount your /boot and update things accordingly?

If you'd like, we can try and work through the Jessie install again as well.  I was hoping to reply sooner but am just getting to it now.

Killed the machine.  :(

While trying to change the symlinks in /boot to point to the new initrd the nouveau driver crashed the OS causing a panic and reboot.

Since the initrd file is not defined in /boot the machine is no longer bootable.

I've installed debian and ubuntu about five or six times each, trying different flavors, etc.  None work.

I'm starting to understand while the machine was given away for free....

What went wrong with the 4.4.0-rc7-powerpc64 kernel?
