Hi,
I've read through a good number of threads on installing on as g5, but
I'm having quite a time. I was wondering if I could tender some
questions?
I have a SP 1.6G G5 with osX on sata main disk and a newly installed
with nothing on it secondary disk that I want to install debian on. I
burned today's daily netinstall ISO and get into the yaboot screen. I
type in "install". I have 2 monitors on this machine, on one I get
....ok opening display ....Simone_B. On the other I get ...ok
copying OF device tree..done
Initializing fake screen ATY, Simone_A
calling quiesce

...
and then some instructions and I try to type in mac-boot, but my
keyboard won't respond and the fans are blasting at full speed.
What am I doing wrong here?
Difficult to tell, probably a 32 bits kernel though :) Debian is still
sticking to those, which is wrong for G5s...
You need a 64 bits kernel to properly support those beasts
Ben.
I installed sarge onto a new G5 about a month ago. Needed to use
"install-power4" (enter a tab to get the exact install possibilities).
Worked fine.
