No its a power mac g5... Ubuntu installs fine and boots up the baby
nicely. But I wanna use Debian :-)
Thanks for your thoughts.

This was a problem that I faced while installing MAC OS X on x86. But
the problem there
was the chipset was not supported. By G5 Do you mean Power Mac G5 or
Mac Pro. If it
is an Mac Pro the solution would be check the HAL for the hardisk.

Samy, hi, its a dual boot with mac osx (10.5); separated HD (one

Yeaaah ! overclocked ? ;-)
G3, G4, G5 ?
Have you tried to boot with <alt> ? We can't imagine your actions.

Hi Marco,
Sammy's humor aside, it would be helpful if you could describe the
machine
a bit more. I don't happen to remember what type of machine is a
"1,6"
(G4? G5? deskside or laptop? maybe one of the "mini" models or an
iMac?)
and you didn't tell us the number of MHz (a typo, I assume) though
that is
less important than the processor type in diagnosing your problem.
In any case, try booting the machine with the Alt key held down.
You will
probably get a screen with several options of bootable
partitions. Is your
Debian installation listed there? If so, click on it then click
on the ->
arrow. It should boot. The "alt-boot" process takes some
considerable time
(a minute or two) to poll all the possible boot devices -- be
patient!
Hope this helps!
Rick
PS: Please reply to the list. We're all interested in how you
make out!
Rick, Samy,
OK. Thanks for the help on this.
My specs are:
Apple alu tower, G5, single processor 1.6 Ghz with 2 gig memory.
I am using two Hard Disks, one for linux and one for OS X. OS X is
the
seccond drive...
Now the problem: if I install Debian (I used 5.0.4 and 4.0.r8),
everything
goes fine. Only when I reboot, with <alt>, I have to choose the HD
to boot
from: and nothing happens: no boot from OSX or Debian.
When I choose from the yaboot prompt, debian hangs at the seccond
stage of
loading the system... and then returns to the yaboot prompt...
In order to boot OSX, I have to disconnect the Debian HD. If I do
the same
with debian (disconnecting OS X HD), theres no boot from Debian...
Thats my situation.
Cheers, Marco
