Hi list, I have a dual core PowerMac G5, the type with three USB ports, so it's the early 2005 version of that model.
I managed to boot bsd.rd from CDROM and to install the operating system on its SATA disk. Rebooting, I'm able to start loading the SMP kernel but I get a panic from the aoa driver. Disabling this, I get as far as the point when it's supposed to mount the file systems, which it obviously fails as SATA isn't supported. Now I wonder, how come I was able to install the operating system on the SATA disk when booting bsd.rd off the CDROM? Is there any way to work with the system by getting it to not use SATA somehow? I'm currently using the November 3 snapshot of macppc from ftp.mirrorservice.org. Sorry for the lack of dmesg and panic trace output. I'm going to try setting up a telnet connection to the machine tonight or sometime soon to capture this.
