help booting CD ROM ... over and over...and over again

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

There is a legitimate problem with booting the 3.0.1  CD on a G5.
I've written to TerraSoft to say that they should at least
acknowledge this on this list, even if there is not a solution yet.

It's not that the CD was not produced/downloaded/burned wrong or
anything like that.  It's not a usage problem; holding down the
C key is fairly straight-forward.

One by one people are getting their G5's, some may work and others
may not and until what is wrong is figured out this list will be the place
where
dialogue takes place.    If we can't get past the CD won't boot stage,
that's
what the emails will be about.

This is not a manual issue.
It's not a Toast issue.  (Media-check is OK, installed on a G4 system )
It just may well be another NVidia issue.
A Ben H kernel may be required before this one is put to rest.

I would gladly buy someone a Pizza and a beer if they could get
an install CD to work in my G5 system.
(Mountain Dew if you're underage.)
