In evening I will check also ext2 /boot/grub partition, and also try install all together to single / ext4 partition, if installer allows it. Of course, Mac will not boot in this case, but at least I can try whole installation process.That does not work. /boot/grub must be an HFS partition, otherwise the installation of the GRUB bootloader will fail. I recommend using the default partition layout for the time being.
Thanks, it saves my time. I have another idea - I haven't check the size of my /boot/grub partiton.
I used old grub partition from times when Debian drops yaboot. ( Debian 9 probably). Maybe this new grub version requires more space.
Powermac ASD firmware diagnostics shows all RAM modules OK. But it is good point - I can try installation with only two other modules - i.e. 4GBYes it could. My Powermac Quad has now issues with thermal calibration, I have to check and clean everything. Fortunatelly it has no coolant leakage. But other hardware like disk controllers woks fine under OSX and MorphOS.In most cases it's a memory module problem and it's not unusual that the problem shows with some operating systems only.
I have also iMac G5 stored in basement, so I can try installation here. But later, my daughter is getting married this weekend :-)))Testing on a different machine is definitely a very good idea! PS: All the best for your daughter's marriage!
Many thanks !!!
