I tried the mini.iso, but it hangs at 'Trying to im_free nonexistant area': . . . checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd Freeing initrd memory: 4652k freed NET: Registered protocol family 16 Linux ppc64 #2 SMP Mon Apr 10 18:55:49 CEST 2006 PCI: Probing PCI hardware mapping IO f0000000 -> d000080000400000, size: 800000 mapping IO f4000000 -> d000080000000000, size: 400000 PCI: Probing PCI hardware done nvram_init: Could not find nvram partition for nvram buffered error logging. audit: initializing netlink socket (disabled) audit(1145890159.990:1): initialized VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1 Dquot-cache hash table entries: 512 (order 0, 4096 bytes) Initializing Cryptographic API io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered (default) io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered HVSI: registered 0 devices Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled pmac_zilog: 0.6 (Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) pmac_zilog: Error registering serial device, disabling pmac_zilog. pmac_zilog: Did another serial driver already claim the minors?
