I've installed Mandrake Linux PPC 8.2beta2 on my Mac TiBook. When I attempt to start up it refuses to boot the newly installed Linux. Here's what happens:
1) I startup with the chime, goes into the open-firmware multi-os program tasks whether I want to boot from the CD, MacOS, Linux, or Open-Firmware. I answer "l" for Linux (all the other options work fine, "l" is the only one that has problems) 2) It goes into the "welcome to... ... boot:" dialog. If I hit tab I get two options, one is "linux", the other is "rescue" or something like that. I type "linux" or hit the C/R key. 3) It says "hd:10/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk: Unknown or corrupt filesystem" Now, /dev/hda10 is the "Apple_Boot" partition that I configured for "/boot". It's 80MB in size. I tried it with 1MB and the installation partition section died with a "premature eof", presumably trying to write stuff to the /boot partition. I can do a rescue boot from the CD, and all the partitions look OK. The /boot partition has a file called vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk Anybody got any clues? Rick
