uname -a: N/A Date: 2004 April 11 13:00 EST Method: boot from CD, hold c, select install-power4 and install-safe-power4 Machine: Apple G5 Processor: dual PowerPC 970 2.0 GHz Memory: 512 MB Root Device: N/A Root Size/partition table: N/A Output of lspci: N/A Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The machine booted from CD and i saw the Yaboot prompt. I tried install-power4 and the kernel began to initialize. It got through about 30 linux until this message: Serial driver version 5.05 (20001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1) During this time the fans began to speed up. Let me tell you they can become rather ferocious. After googling, it looks like that problem was fixed. It's just that the kernel didn't get to them yet. So i thought maybe there's a safe version, but i didn't know if it's install-safe-power4 or install-power4-safe. If i remember correctly the Yaboot prompt doesn't say that you can type help for more help. So someone may want to add that. So i found the list and selected install-safe-poewer4. It resulted in the same problem. I did not try the expert versions. :) Brian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
