Package: installation
Version: 3.0.23, dated 2002-07-18 For the installation on my new ibook - 12" 700mhz double USB with S video I used the install24-safe command at bootup from installation cd. All was fine until the system was restarted and it hanged. The bug was found to be in the configuration in the yaboot.conf file. Even though install24-safe was used, the yaboot.conf was not updated to run vmlinux-2.4.18-newpmac instead of vmlinux. So to get debian to boot on my ibook which had the linux partition on hda11, I had to add/ change the following lines image=hd:11, /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-newpmac append="video=ofonly" The second line was added so that the display will work before the package for the ATI video drivers are installed. This point was provided by some other source, but I can't remember where. I had to mount the yaboot.conf in the bootstrap partition manually and correct the yaboot.conf there, as I was not able to run ybin from the shell in the installation process. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
