I have it installed. Everything works fine, and I have yaboot installed on the
MacOS partition. Please tell me more about how you have your system set up and

will help you troubleshoot it. The partitions above 10 work fine, at least 11
works fine on my iBook.

Ah, ok, that explains that. So long as people know about it. Thanks for

Greets,
i've been tinkering round with Debian 2.2 for a few days but still can't
seem to solve my video problems. This is the kernel msgs i get if i boot
from BootX with the "No Video Driver option" checked.
MacOS display is /pci/ATY,mach64_3DUPro
Using unsupported 1024x768 ATY,mach64_3DU

Hello,
I made a binary-powerpc-1.iso with pseudo-image-kit-2.0 (2.2_rev0) and
tried to boot a 500 MHz G4, Apple family number M5183, with a DVD-RAM
drive. I restart while holding down "c" and the boot starts from the
CD. However, several messages "wrong partition 1 check" appear on the
initial ya
I configure with an option of "prefix=/opt" so that it doesn't intefere with
other
binaries that the debian system uses. Debian has everything compiled and
installed for /usr. An alternative to /opt is /usr/local but I don't like it as
it lives under /usr.
