Newbie to the List... Dual 2.7 G5 Install...

[Andrew Farley]

Well, this may have been asked here before, but I¹ve attempted to scour the
web, and any archive and list I know and I can¹t figure it out.  I¹ve
attempted to disable everything I know to disable, even used OpenFirmware to
disable the second CPU, and well, I joined the list about a week ago to see
if anyone was talking about this topic, since I haven¹t heard anything, so
here I go...

I have the latest iso¹s (yellowdog-4.0.1-orion-20050208-install1.iso) but I
can¹t for the life of me install Yellow Dog on my brand new dual 2.7 G5.  I
boot with install-g5-safe and get ³Kernel Access of Bad Area² on
iface_create when it loads up the i2c /dev nodes (or so it seems).

The most I¹ve found is a kernel patch that fixes this supposed bug, but
would have no way of really re-making the ISO with a patched kernel, or if
this patch is already in the latest ISO and it¹s just not working for me...

I¹ve found this patch/info, but it is back from May.

Anyone find a fix for this...?  =\  Thanks
