Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yaboot
I am attempting an install on an iMac G3 333MHz (Green) machine I've
nabbed. The Debian Sarge, Dapper and Edgy Ubuntu CDs do not boot with
this machine; I get to the yaboot prompt and can't hit any keys (enter
being the one I'm aiming for!) and therefore cannot proceed.
I switched this approach for a netboot based install, and added the following
to yaboot.conf:
timeout=1
which loads the kernel/initrd but the ramdisk fails to load (yaboot method load
failed 000000900 ramdisk load failed).
However -- I am glad to report this problem does not occur with
Debian/etch as at 26/01/2007 and am performing an installation of Etch
now, but clearly there is something wrong with the yaboots from Ubuntu
and earlier Debians...
