I didn't try that installer. Both my PowerMacs are using yaboot, I haven't tried grub/ieee1275. yaboot works well and is well documented, so it should be okay either way. > I wanted to see if the most recent linux kernel sources are actually slightly > broken > on the old ppc64 IBM970 chips in the G5 type units. If by 'G5 type units' you mean powermacs, then yes. When I tracked down my bug, I did check the newest kernel at the time, and the bug was still here :-( If you mean another type of machine using ppc970, I'd like to know the result as well.
