Branden, Here's my problem and I search on this list and I did not find anything about this issue. But I find a way to solve it I just get the 2.4 Kernel precompiled from ppckernel.org I extracted it and I rename the 2.4 kernel as linux.bin and everything is working find.
By the way nice doc and thanks for supporting it ;) -- Francis Parent-Valiquette On Wed, 27 Oct 2004 12:06:21 -0500, Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Oct 24, 2004 at 10:11:46PM -0400, Francis Parent-Valiquette wrote: > > > > Hi everyone > > > > I'm an old user of debian last month I bought a mac PowerBook G4 and > > I'm trying to install the Power Pc distro of debian on it I follow the > > how-to of Branden Robinson > > That could be find on this site > > http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html#run_installer > > > > When I try to use the mac-fdisk partioning tools It doesn't see my > > hard drive.
