Hello
I'm using a Power Macintosh G4 dual (the new one with the mirror front)
I moved the harddisk to the ata66 chain.
Installing ydl 2.3, It installs total, only the networkcard isn't found.
Then when I reboot the yaboot comes up and gives after the Boot: line
---
Loading second stage bootstap
---
Then the mac boot icon comes up (that thing with the ?) and it waits until the machine reboots and yaboot comes up again.
I tryed booting from the cd and at the Boot: promt some thing like hd:3,/boot/vmlinux and some variations tto that line, but i get
the responce no device found
In short Linux won't startup.
When I move the installed harddisk to the ata100 chain the kernel starts but crashes with a kernel panic, probably misses the ata100
driver.
Has anyone got an idea how I can boot linux?
Grtz,Remco
