I don't think it's the drive. If the controller isn't detected
and the modules loaded, everything down-stream (ie, disk, partitions, etc..)
doesn't really play into it.
I don't have those particular machines, but have forwarded it on to
some that do. Should have an answer back in a while.

BTW the external enclosure I'm using is a PHR-250CC from Macsales.com
Exactly as Rob describes, except I can plug it into my iMac G5 and it mounts
there also. Mountable and visible by Ubuntu, Gentoo, all versions of OSX (I
have Jaguar to Tiger) thing but the YDL installer.
I will be anxiously awaiting what you find out!
Thanks

Steven,
Hrm... and it is the same with both your machines? Also, just
to tripple check, you're using 4.1 and not 4.0.1 correct? When
did you recieve your disks?
I'll double check at the office if we can reproduce the issue.
-Bill
Performing the media check and then cntrl-alt-F3 gives me:
Found USB controller ohci-hcd
No firewire controller found
module ohci-hcd not found
Module ohci-hcd yenta_socket not found
Those are the only lines that have ohci in them.
Thanks if you need more I can write down the whole output list.

The partition scheme doesn't seem to be the problem, moreso with
loading the modules.
I'm not sure this is the easiest way to check it, but try this:
- Boot install disk, at yaboot prompt type:
install mediacheck
- A bunch of white text on black background should scroll as the
kernel loads. Then the screen should turn blue, with a little
ASCI message box saying something like "Loading OCHI modules" or
similar. Then a prompt will appear to test your CD's.
- Forget the prompt, instead press CTRL+ALT+F3 (might be F4, not
at my test machine to verify).
- Look for a Line or lines saying something like "OCHI controller XXX
found" or "1394 controller unknown" or anything else related to those
two controllers being probed.
I'm pretty interested in the output. That'll hold the information
needed to see whats wrong.
-Bill
It is the original 40gig hd from my TiPowerBook Samsung I think.
It is the
only drive in the chain and I had been looking for the OHCI and
1394 drivers
but didn't know that they would be indicated with blue
background, so no I
have not seen them load.
