Good question, Amos. You should begin with listing the files: ls -al /mnt2 What do you get? Usually there are links vmlinux and initrd.img pointing at vmlinux-2.6.x.x.x and initrd.img-2.6.x.x.x, respectively. They should come from a package called linux-image-2.6 or something similar. You can se

Risto, Thanks for the continued support. I continued through the installation to the partitions portions, and all of the partitions were as I thought - sda6 is the hfsplus partition where OS 9 is loaded. I then continued all the way through the installation to the point where I was inst

Hmm... looks like /dev/sda does not exist, yet. But somewhere under the /dev tree there are probably the right entries. Perhaps /dev/scsi or /dev/bus or /dev/disk something. You could just try to let the installation process continue a bit further. When it's about to start the partitioning, the sd

Hi Amos, The one thing you probably forgot, was to copy the vmlinux and initrd.img images from /boot to Mac OS 'Linux Kernels' folder. Then you will have to direct BootX to use them, as you did with the images from the install CD. Now you must try to re-start the installation and then suspend it
