When trying to boot Debian (4 and 5) it doesn't go beyond the OpenBoot (Low
Battery).
I tried to install also Aurora / Corona / Fedora, but the screen jammed up when
the blue dialog box was supposed to be shown ("Media Test").
BTW, while being aware that this is not the right list, would you by any chance
know how I can update the OpenBoot using the Tadpole patches? (you can answer
offline).
Thx,
Joseph

You get to the Linux framebuffer with the Tux in the top corner or still
jus in the OpenBoot Prompt?
