Been there, done that. Still won't boot; same phenomenon : complete
freeze right after hitting 'Linux' button in bootx). My MacOS partition
is HFS+, I figured this the culprit.... Would have to
re-re-re-re-re-re-format and re-re-re-re-install both MacOS and the
Linux distro... no way... I stick with the puppy. :-)
