I have one of the new 12" Powerbooks. I just finished re-partitioning and re-installing OS X. Unfortunately I've already encountered a problem. According to http://lists.penguinppc.org/yaboot-announce/2003/yaboot-announce-200302/msg00000.html (the release announcement for Yaboot 1.3.9) previous yaboot versions will not work on the new powerbooks. I can reproduce this problem.
Holding down the "c" key on boot does not boot the cd. So, Used the command+option+O+F magik key combination. I succesfully loaded yaboot but upon loading i get an error about not being able to read yaboot.conf. I can give the exact error if you need it (I don't want to reboot halfway through writing an email :) ). I do get a yaboot prompt but no splash screen or the "Welcome" message. I don't think that it's a bad cd problem because i verified the MD5 sum and am able to read the documentation on the cd. Any chance that yaboot will be updated for the next beta/rc? Any ETA on the next PPC release? :) I can't wait to load linux on my shiny new Powerbook. :) BTW, this is beta 2 and I'm a pretty tech savvy linux user of about 4 years, so I can answer most tech questions you might need answering to resolve this. Happy Cooking! rob
