Hi,

We have a problem while loading  YellowDogLinux 2.3  onto 800MHz G4
Powermac. We have burnt the YDL 2.3 ISO image for G4 m/cs onto CD. When
the G4 machine is switched off and switched on, it starts booting from
CD drive. Following steps were found happening:

1.	 " Loading Kernel..."
2.	 A window pops up asking for terms and conditions. Selected
`Agree` 
3.	Then it opens the GUI installer, in which you can load the
drivers for mouse , keyboard.,  etc... 
4.	Here when it goes to `hard-disk partition` it gives an error
"Hard disk not found". 

Here we are stuck. Not sure why we are getting this error. We have
partitioned the hard disk into 2 parts. One partition is having MAC OS
and the other partition we have reserved for loading Yellow Dog Linux
2.3 (set as Unix file system).

Could you please let me know what is the problem. If you have any
installation procedure document please let me know.

Regards,
kallesh.
