Hello ,
can someone please help me to install Wheezy on a Powermac G5?
When i boot in open firmware
and then do
boot cd:,install yaboot
it says alwys "cd not found"
i really like my powermac g5 but i am bit afraid to use linux on it
because i had so many problems.
last time i tried to install Ubuntu 15.10 via USB i had an error at
the beginning of yaboot installer with strange message (cereal
something) and i had to switch off powermac . Afterwards i was no more
able to enter OsX 10.5.8 Leopard - there was just a Bluescreen that
would not go away .
Plus, one mayor downfall with PPC Linux, as with Linux in General, is
that the Bluetooth connectivity is nearly Zero - which is a pity
because Reverse Tethering a Phone or Tablet via Bluetooth Pan is a
really nice thing and seems to work fine only on Mac and less on
Windows and even lesser on Linux .
Linux PPC would be especially nice to be able to continue using
programs such as Kodi, which on PPC mac are no more updated.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Andreas,
Unless the kernel dmesg logs are lying, the Powermac G5 (11.2) uses
the SMU and the Powermac G5 (7.2) uses the PMU.
Regards,
