I am sorry for taking a bit long to list what I am been doing. I have been trying many different scenarios and using different Debian Install disks. Every Debian install disk has graphic issues when starting into Debian. As soon as the kernel boots I get funky graphic lines that wave on the screen. I don't get any of this when using the Ubuntu install disk at all. I just downloaded the latest reversion of Debian and burned the disk. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/powerpc/iso-cd/ But I can't any choice in yaboot that will give me a proper kernel to boot from. Is there something I can do because this is my 2nd powerbook that is very temperamental in using Linux and it is very frustrating. All my G3s (b&w), G4s, and G4 xserv all do very well and are running as servers and workstations quite nicely all the time. Stats: Machine Name: PowerBook G4 17" Machine Model: Powerbook5.5 CPU Type: PowerPc G4 (1,1) CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512KB Memory: 2G Bus Speed: 167 MHz Boot Rom Version: 4.86f0 It was taking me some extra time because I have been trying to install a Debian system and use that so I can compare my configs compiled on Debian instead of Ubuntu with Debian's stock kernel. Is there a way I can not have any graphic distortion with lines scrolling up on the center of the monitor. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
