I tried installing the Debian 8.7 on my iBOOK G4, both MacOSX 10.5.8 and Debian worked well after the installation. I press "x" to boot up the MacOSX 10.5.8 in the yaboot menu. > I have issuing ybin -v within Debian once booted (right after installation) > to see if that corrects the problem > (I am addressing my OS X installations on a separate drive, /dev/sdb, and > Debian is on /dev/sda with the yaboot > HDD byte-codea). This did not make a difference. Can you reproduce this issue by installing an Debian 8.7? If yes, we can collect some data, for example: using dd to get some data from partitions, on the newly installed Debian Linux. Regards, Flos
