Hi, I've just bought a PowerBook G4 12". I have downloaded the Beta1 of Sarge NetInst for PowerPC (November 9th) and I have got a problem at the beginning of the installation.
I enter Open Firmware, and then boot with: boot cd:\\yaboot And then I get: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0,yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem Can't open config file Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.10 Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: <Enter> Please wait, loading kernel... :0,/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid device The ISO image is correct (I have checked the MD5sum) and I've burned it a couple of times with the same results. After trying some things (it was the first time I used yaboot) I've got it working with: boot: cd:0,/install/powermac/vmlinux initrd=/install/powermac/root.bin ramdisk_size=8192 init=/linuxrc Well, it is not working yet, now it boots the kernel but it can't mount the root partition or initrd, it says (after detecting mouse, pci devices, etc ...): VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 16:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:01 <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds.. If I specify root=/dev/ram0 then it says (earlier than without specifying it): cramfs: wrong magic Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 ... I've tried several combinations of these options without any good result. Thanks for your help (please, keep me in CC because I'm not subscribed to the lists)
