Ok, thank you first for your answer. I don't need pcmcia on a server, so I'll give it a try., since those you can actually deactivate in the install process.
Now my test runs, took longer than I thought. First I messed up 2 cds by burning them withou yaboot and yaboot.conf and boot.msg. I took the ones from the netinst directories then. Also I needed to start via open-firmware ... but that are the small issues. First my hardware (from the os x panel) (CPU, graphic card and memory should be enough info I guess): Hardware Overview: Machine Name: Power Mac G5 Machine Model: PowerMac7,3 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.5 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz Boot ROM Version: 5.1.8f7 GeForce FX 5200: Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200 Type: Display Bus: AGP Slot: SLOT-1 VRAM (Total): 64 MB Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0321 Revision ID: 0x00b1 ROM Revision: 2060 Displays: Cinema Display: Display Type: LCD Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Display: Status: No display connected DIMM0/J11: Size: 512 MB Type: DDR SDRAM Speed: PC3200U-30330 Status: OK DIMM1/J12: Size: 512 MB Type: DDR SDRAM Speed: PC3200U-30330 Status: OK DIMM2/J13: Size: 256 MB Type: DDR SDRAM Speed: PC3200U-30330 Status: OK DIMM3/J14: Size: 256 MB Type: DDR SDRAM Speed: PC3200U-30330 Status: OK First I tried the 64 bit image: booted kernel ok, but then got stuck in a black screen with the cursor in top left corner. if I tried if of-only it got stuck with a black screen with no cursor in top left corner. The fans beheaved normally though (the usually get into overdrive when I start the installer in text mode). Then the 32 bit image (which should fail I guess): booted kernel ok, but then suddenly jumps back into open-firmware with a memory violation. I couldn't read it quickly enough, since it spammed newlines. The same happened with of-only. Regards Jan Schukat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
