I'm trying it on a StarMax 3000 and an older G3 powerbook, nogo on
either. Nothing seems to boot on the StarMax I get a no init found
error when it trys to boot linux. The 2.2.15 recommended by some has
the same problem.
On the powerbook, 2.2.17 boots fine but X crashes randomly. The

Hi Michael,
I'm also running debian on a 7200. Unlike Adam but like Ethan's friend,
the last kernel I could got running was 2.2.14. I have tried 2.2.15 and
2.2.16 and neither would work. I have yet to compile my own kernel
though so maybe something will be different there. I have tried a ke

Hi,
I'm having trouble booting Linux on my Power Macintosh 7200/75.
Installation of Debian 2.2 went fine (booting MacOS on an external disk
and using BootX to boot into Linux works fine).
Right now I'm not able to boot directly into Linux - I have to boot
MacOS and then use BootX to get Linux ru
