Sounds like a kernel panic. On some of the machines the native Apple SCSI seems a bit shakey. You can try the 2.2 kernel, or try a kernel from another source (maybe ppckernels.org?), with the modules built into the kernel. I understand BenH has done some work on the SCIS modules recently to improve them. > If I partition using pdisk, the same error occurs when I try to start > the installer. > > The computer is a PMac 7300 with the standard 2 gig SCSI HD. > > Blake > > Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc
