OK. Just for reference. In order to boot with my SCSI card I have to type from OF: boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@6:8,yaboot (since my spare kernels and a yaboot is on my OS 9 partition.) In my yaboot.conf I have: image=vmlinux-2.4.21-pre2 label=ram-cd device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@6: partition=8 initrd=cd:,/install/powermac/root.bin initrd-size=8192 append="video=ofonly devfs=nomount" The root.bin is on the Woody Disk. That seemed to work. I see the CD being accessed and the choose language screen comes up, however, my keyboard is still not working. What possibly could have happened? It was working fine before the apt-get upgrade and the keyboard works fine with OS X, OS 9, and the Debian Woody installer as well (with the install24 kernel.) My kernel must not be compatible with the root.bin of the Woody disk. This is the relavant part of my .config # # Macintosh device drivers # CONFIG_ADB_CUDA=y CONFIG_ADB_PMU=y # CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK is not set # CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT is not set # CONFIG_MAC_FLOPPY is not set CONFIG_MAC_SERIAL=m CONFIG_ADB=y CONFIG_ADB_MACIO=y CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y CONFIG_MAC_HID=y # CONFIG_ANSLCD is not set This is very strange. # # USB support # CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y # CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set # CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD is not set # CONFIG_USB_UHCI is not set # CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT is not set CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Do you think this could be the problem? (I'm off to find out.) Fred Error Loading Explorer.exe You must reinstall Windows.
