Sorry, that was too quick. Dear list-subscribers, this is my first attempt at Linux, so pls bear with me.
After doing a faultless fresh install on the second internal HD, all attempts at booting debian failed at the same stage. All answers I found elsewhere were from different setups, and I'm still to new to Linux to interpret them right. Here's the case: Power Mac G5 (11,2), dual 2.3 GHz, 5,5 GB RAM, HD1 OSX 10.5.8, HD2 Debian GNU/Linux 7.2.0 "Wheezy" [snip] [4.2…] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [4.2…] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write chache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [4.2…] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [4.2…] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write chache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [4.3…] input: Primax Electronics Apple Optical USB Mouse as /devices/… [4.3…] apple 0003:05AC:0304.0001: input, hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Mouse … [4.3…] sdb: [4.3…] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk [4.3…] sda: [mac] sda1 sda2 sda 3 sda4 [4.3…] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk Begin: Loading essential drivers ... [4.6…] windfarm: initializing for dual-core desktop G5 done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done. Begin: Mount root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. Begin: Waiting for root file system ... done. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/7c5b94c3-f4e5-4bd1… does not exist. Dropping to a shell! modprobe: can't load module i8042 (kernel/drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko): No such device modprobe: can't load module i8042 (kernel/drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko): No such device [35.35…] uhci_hcd: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1:1.20.0-7) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) _ [snap] Assuming the solution to be ultimately trivial, I still need your detailed help to move on with it.
