You can actually use the debian rev5 of 2.2 it seems if you specify debian video=ofonly at the install prompt. which is cool, I manahged to install all of debian and it boots... however it will not boot from the HD, i have install quik, but it will not boot from the HD, it boots from cd and I can boot it up with debian root=/dev/hda2 video=ofonly and then my system kinda works... have to fix X and all that ... any ideas about fixing the booting issue from the HD ?? - Daniel > On Sat, Mar 02, 2002 at 12:56:29AM +1100, Daniel Hoffman wrote: > > > > > > I am looking at installing debian on my powerbook g4 667. > > > > I have downloaded the current powerpc images from ftp.planetmirror.com.au > which > > i assume are 2.2rev5. > > > > When I boot off the CD I get > > > > "invalid parition 1 signature". > > > > I found a page that says to download the images in the new-powerpc disk > images > > and yaboot and put them in /, get to the open firmware and do a boot > > hd:9,yaboot or something like that, having trouble remembering the exact > > command now. > > Yes, you need new-powermac flavor. 2.2r5 is hopeless for powerbook g4. > > > > Has anyone done this and managed to get it to install.... any ideas or > > suggestions??? > > You can be the first on your block.
