Hi, I'm unable to boot the Debian 2.2r3 installation on my Titanium Powerbook. I've tried booting from CD and HD, with slightly different results:
- CD Boot - In Open Firmware, I issued: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 > boot cd:,\\yaboot -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yaboot came up with the following: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to yaboot version 0.6 Wrong partition 1 signature Config file read, 483 bytes Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC (potato) boot: _ -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ After typing the image name, this: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ Loading kernel... Wrong partition 1 signature Loading ramdisk... Wrong partition 1 signature xxxx another line I couldn't see quick enough xxxx -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ For a splitsecond the screen went white, then black, displaying in a larger Font: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.2.17 started at : 0x01000000 linked at : 0xc0000000 frame buffer at : 0xb6008000 (phys), 0xb6008000 (log) MSR : 0x00003030 HID0 : 0x8014c0a4 booting... -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ After that, nothing except for a second of HDD activity I think. - HD Boot - I used the Debian-imac archive as advertised in the installation instructions, prepared everything as described, this time telling Open Firmware: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 > boot hd:9,yaboot -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ This time the yaboot messages went away quickly, but as I could see they were nothing unusual. After that the screen went white again, like in Open Firmware, and the top two rows displayed in black: --8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ ... ok opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,RageM3p12B_ -->8------------------------------------------------------------------------ I heard a few accesses to the hard drive, then nothing. No reaction to keypresses. I hope anyone can help me with this. Thanks in advance, Sven M.
