Samy, hi, its a dual boot with mac osx (10.5); separated HD (one for

Yeaaah ! overclocked ? ;-)
G3, G4, G5 ?

Have you tried to boot with <alt> ? We can't imagine your actions.

Hi Marco,

Sammy's humor aside, it would be helpful if you could describe the machine a bit more. I don't happen to remember what type of machine is a "1,6" (G4? G5? deskside or laptop? maybe one of the "mini" models or an iMac?) and you didn't tell us the number of MHz (a typo, I assume) though that is less important than the processor type in diagnosing your problem.

In any case, try booting the machine with the Alt key held down. You will probably get a screen with several options of bootable partitions. Is your Debian installation listed there? If so, click on it then click on the -> arrow. It should boot. The "alt-boot" process takes some considerable time (a minute or two) to poll all the possible boot devices -- be patient!


Hope this helps!

Rick
