Hi, Ashok,

In my latest dual g5 2.0 GHz machine which is delivered just 2 weeks 
ago, no 3.0.1 iso from ydl enhanced works. I have tried the latest 
iso's for PowerMac G5 dated on 2/11/2004, but they did not work and 
encountered the same error as I have reported earlier in this list.

I assume that the partition map of the latest dual g5 is completely
diffrent from those of other g4 machines, even they are the same OS
10.3, and the current anaconda appears not to be able to handle this
new partition map, which lacks all the Apple driver partitions, 
patch partitions, and so on usually seen in precedented machines. 
The foolowing is the map with OSX pdisk command of the startup disk 
of the dual g5 machine of MacOSX 10.3, and the root partition
is partition 4, Apple_HFS_Untitled_3. (I intend to install YDL on the
2nd drive /dev/hdb of this machine, then this drive does not have any 
linux partitions)

$ sudo /usr/sbin/pdisk /dev/disk0 -dump

I hope that YDL anaconda can handle this new type of partition map 
as soon as possible.

Thanks,
