Any idea? I think you've got the wrong output-device settings ... and maybe the wrong boot-device (not very helpful, I know...) Unfortunately, this parameters are peculiar to your hardware. If it boots another way (for example with floppy), look in /proc to see if you have a device tree that looks like the paths in OF. I don't know where it is exactly because that option is not built into my kernel, but I _think_ it is in the default kernel. If you find the tree, you may be able to see your devices and the correct path to them (this should be under 'ata' for IDE hd, under 'scsi' for SCSI, and your video card should be under 'bandit'). 'dmesg' could also give you some information, at least about your video hw You can also check http://www.apple.com (the support page) to find a detailled description of your machine: all machines are archived somewhere (sorry for the lack of detail). It may include a System Block Diagram that will show you what hardware you have, and corresponding names (e.g. 'bandit' for the pci bus). hth, Simon -- Simon Vallet Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
