Brian:
Apparently you decided to reinstall. Perhaps if you referred to the manual in the section describing setting up the partitioning and mount points on the drives, the details could be less confusing. Here's the TSS link to download the manual for YDL 4.0/4.0.1:

For clarity, I am not suggesting that a reinstall will change the revving issue. Unfortunately, I don't have a G5 myself and my previous guesses were limited as they were based upon a G4 anyway. Hopefully, other G5 users will come forward and assist your queries.

Best wishes...

Sooo.... I tried booting from the installer disc (YDL 4.0.1) and with "install-g5". At least with the kernel used on the install disk, the fan revving problem is still there. I went all the way through the process, including partitioning and package selection before I bailed. I have two internal SATA drives. sda (OS X) and sdb (hoping to install Linux). I bailed because I couldn't tell which drive YDL was about to be installed on. I know about the issue with installing Linux on a second internal SATA drive and yaboot and PRAM settings, but I am not prepared to change that at this time. I am just trying to see if I can get a system without fan revving as a first priority.

Where do I go from here?

Cheers,

Brian
