Re: Worked with a Firewire drive, but now I'm hanging again

Hello Carlos,

about booting on USB stick , I have tried installing sid (unstable) on PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15' (radeon) and it works (somehow...).
(maybe it is the way you've written the ISO to USB drive...)

Here are the notes about the installation:
http://wiki.powerprogress.org/DebianPowerPcStartersManual#Installation_of_Debian_powerpc

Unfortunately - I think I'm having the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH issue (with radeon).

Funny thing though, everything works just after the installation - but booting the next day gets me into the black screen of death.

I'm doing the installation again this week-end, and I'll keep the logs for a successful xserver start to compare them with the logs for unsuccessful start.

Good luck,
Fadi.

 Hello guys,
 
 now I have copied the ISO to a Firewire
 drive.
 
 First I got an error
 during installation.
 Then I typed
 „install32 video=ofonly“
 
 This worked :-)
 But now I’m
 hanging at „Detect and mount CD-ROM“ in the main menu of
 the installer.
 The installer said, no CD-ROM
 drive found. Now he forces me to define the directory of the
 driver. But I don’t know this.
 
 A also can’t open the shell. Alt+F2 don’t
 work. 
 
 Any advise,
 please
