hi, i've run into 2 problems while trying to install. i downloaded the debain testing cd 1 for ppc. i'm trying to do a dual boot setup with macosx. i have an ibook g4 1.2Ghz.
first, in the macosx install i opened disk utility and made 2 partitions each with the macos Extended (hfs+) type. then i installed macosx on the second partition without any problems. now comes the debian installer, starting with the yaboot menu: "This is the debian installation cdrom, built on 20060424." if i type in "install64" i get the following error: please wait loading kernel... [...] ramdisk loaded at 01a000000, size 3522kbytes Invalid memory acces at %SRR0: 014082e8 %SRR1: 00083030 and then the openfirmware loads.. ok the only option that worked was by typing "install". when i come to the partitioning part, debian only lets me choose one partition: to erase the entire disk. shouldn't it recognise the 2 partitions?? then i followed some online guides that say to use mac-fdisk. so i did this: i deleted the intended for linux partition, and created a boot, swap and root partition. when i was done it looked like this: /dev/hda1 ... apple_partition_map, 31k ../hda2 ... apple_boot, 128M hda3 ... apple_hfsx, 45G hda4 ... apple_boot, 128M hda5 ... apple_bootstrap (newworld bootblock), 800k hda6 ... swap, 768M hda7 ... root, 9G but the debian installer only lets me select: IDE1 master (hda) - 60.0 GB Toshiba .. instead of the 2 partitions. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
