Todays (03.10.2016) daily iso is still unbootable on my G5, though it is a lot more verbose about not finding a media containing a live filesystem. See attatched screenshot.
Now as I see theres error messenges I rememember the same error happened during the beta phase of Ubuntu MATE 16.04 too, at least the error messages were exactly the same. It got fixed later in the beta phase of 16.04. ** Attachment added: "photo of failed boot process" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626332/+attachment/4753771/+files/screenshot.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626332 Title: Ubuntu MATE 16.10 fails to boot with linux-image-4.8.0-11-generic kernel on PowerMac G5 7,3 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Tried to boot todays daily Yakkety iso on my PowerMac G5 7,3 which failed: "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" (see photo).
