Hi, Im having trouble installing debian on my apple powerbook Ti G4.
I d/loaded and can boot the latest install CD fine, I type install at the yaboot boot: prompt which then loads the kernel and ramdisk image. However, it then switches to a white displays saying: . . . ok opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,RageM3p12B. At that point it hangs and doesn't get any further, the poweroff button stops working on the PB and I have to use the small reset button on the back. My disk has one big HFS+ partition which is empty, and im only interested in running Debian with no multi boot options. Here is a screen capture from the boot process: (Black screen) Welcome to yaboot version 0.9 Wrong partition 1 signature Config file read, 613 bytes Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC (potato) boot: (type install and hit enter) Loading kernel.. Wrong partition 1 signature Elf32 kernel loaded Loading Ramdisk.. Wrong partition 1 signature (Says something about ramdisk loaded but to quick for me to see) It then switches to a white screen with the aforementioned error message and hangs. Is the Wrong partition 1 signature message something to be concerned about? I was planning to use the installer to properly partition my disk for Linux. I tried zapping the PRAM and resetting the NVRAM but this didn't seem to have any effect on the problem :( Let me know if any other information is needed. Any help that you guys can offer will be GREATLY appreciated :) Thanks, -- Jamie Heckford Network Manager Trident Microsystems Ltd Tel: 01737 780790 Fax: 01737 771908 http://www.tridentmicrosystems.co.uk *********** This e-mail message contains confidential information for the above addressee only.
