A few weeks ago several threads went around about similar issues;
e.g. Aaron, David, Risto discussing Re: Power Mac G5 Debian Wheezy /
Problem with GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
I thought maybe my similar problem was result of not correctly disconnecting a

or caused by a recent update,
Hi Geoff,
Maybe you thought of this, but now that you have burned a cd anyway,
at the openfirmware prompt do like:
boot cd:, yaboot.conf
...then within Debian installer during the partitioning section you can select
the drive you want to install to, and make sure the Apple_bootstrap [bootable
...and if it doesn't find the yaboot file, also point to the exact location of
the yaboot.conf for that cd
If i remember right, it is [path]yaboot.conf
e.g.
boot cd:, /install/yaboot.conf

Hi Patrick,
Which install method did you chose (cd, usb/live, net, etc.); and with which
verbosity level (if you don't know let's assume default)?
I am just trying to get a bit more information so that others here, or myself

Does it give you a message about the wifi driver in the boot messages?
You can review this with ~

On my ppc it gives a url with instructions on how to install the wi-fi driver.
