YDL 4.0.1 graphite clamshell iBook installation problems

[Vasily Ingogly]

Hello all,

I purchased the geek edition YDL 4.0.1 CDs for installation on my old 
iBook back in April. There were problems with installation, but I got 
it installed. However, now it appears to hang during first boot. I 
posted a message to the forum on the YDL site, but no one has been able 
to provide me with a solution. There are a number of other messages 
there that seem to suggest there are problems with YDL 4.0.1 on older 
machines (by the way, YDL 3.x works fine on my iBook). For example, a 
person with a tangerine clamshell iBook also is having problems. The 
hardware section of the YDL site indicates there are sound problems - 
but this is way beyond a sound problem. A copy of my post to the forum 
follows. The moderator thought the problem might be related to settings 
that happen during/post install, and suggested pressing fn+ctrl+alt+f2 
to get a terminal and logging in there, but that doesn't do anything.

Any ideas? I could go back to YDL 3.x, but I hate thinking I've wasted 
$$ on 4.0.1 CDs that are useless.

This is a second generation iBook, 366MHz, clamshell without Firewire. 
YDL 3 was running fine, I purchased the 4.0.1 CDs. During the install, 
I got an "unrecognized monitor" message and had to do a text install. 
At the end of the install, there was a message about "bogus values" 
that seemed to be related to the display. When I reboot the machine, I 
get the error

PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19:0 
macserial: can't request IO resource

The startup seems to hang after displaying the line

Initializing firewire controller (ohci1394) [OK]

A friend suggests that GUI stuff is starting up after this, so he 
suggested it might be related to the monitor. As I recall, YDL 3 also 
had a problem recognizing my iBook's monitor, but I was able to do a 
graphic install anyway.

Any help or suggestions would be most welcome

Vasily
