hello,

I tried several times installing Debian on a Power Mac G5 machine, each time I 
go through the install process without any issues, but once I reboot after the 
install the system hangs in a perpetual " Loading second stage bootstrap..."
I suspect it might be a yaboot issue, I mounted the HDD on another machine and 
here is the yaboot.conf:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
   ## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer  
  ##  
  ## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!  
  ## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.  
  ##  
  ## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:  
  ## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ  

boot  =  "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK3261GSYN_924UT7K7T-part2"  
device  =  /ht@0,f2000000/  pci@5  /  k2  -  sata  -  root@c  /  
@ffffffffffffffff  /  @  0  
partition  =  3  
root  =  "UUID=4653ed6c-9e7b-470c-be87-9418095f8a84"  
timeout  =  50  
install  =  /usr/  lib  /  yaboot  /  yaboot
magicboot  =  /usr/  lib  /  yaboot  /  ofboot
enablecdboot

image  =  /boot/  vmlinux

 
 
 
 label  =  Linux  

 
 
 
 read  -  only

 
 
 
 initrd  =  /boot/  initrd  .  img


image  =  /boot/  vmlinux  .  old

 
 
 
 label  =  old

 
 
 
 read  -  only

 
 
 
 initrd  =  /boot/  initrd  .  img  .  old   
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

I've also tried replacing the values for the "  boot=..." and "root=..." 
parameters  with  boot=/dev/sda2  and  root=/dev/sda3 respectively but that 
didn't help. 

Any help will be appreciated!
