Re: PowerComputing Clone with CD-ROM issues on YD L Install

[Thomas]

Hi Seth

May be you should remove some RAM.

I experienced problems installing and running YDL 3 with to much RAM. 
Maybe a RAM slot is not working 100% properly or interleaving caused 
the problem, don't know by now exactly.

But with much RAM the installer broke down immediately and 
misteriously. With less RAM all went fine.

Maybe your problem is caused by bad RAM. So give it a try.

If you do not have the CD-ROM inserted when booting into the installer 
(not mounted under Mac OS), doesn't it ask you to choose your install 
method in a text mode window and then prompt for the CD-ROM? - This 
avoids incompatibilites between the Mac OS and the Linux CD-ROM driver 
when using BootX to boot after Mac OS has loaded.

Good luck!

Thomas
