Hello everybody,
Is it possible to install Yellow Dog Linux on a Xserve Dual =
1GHz? (The=20
first Xserve released?)
I've downloaded the version 2.3 - December 2003 available on=20
<http://stage.terraplex.com/updates/apple/xserve/isos/> but I didn't=20
have success.
What I did:
1. Formated the disks using Mac OS X disk (xserve can't boot =
using=20
OS9) and choose 1 partition - Format Free (NO Mac OS 9 driver!)
2. I've installed YDL without problems

The problem:
3. During the reboot after configure YDL without problems the =
mac=20
reboots and then boots showing Jaguar's screen (The Apple logo in the=20
middle of the screen with the spinning circle=85Believe-me: Jaguar =
wasn't=20
installed!) then the system goes to a OSX Kernel Panic. Then I've reset=20=
the Open Firmware and PRAM and no system is detected=85 (blinking '?'=20
over the folder - strange=85)
Information:
- Xserve Dual 1GHz
- Standard Configuration:
No memory added
No card added
No disk added
Nothing added at All
System WITHOUT Mac OS X - YDL Only!

I didn't seen much information on this=85 Except that I need to =

the xserve_iso image (the one that I'm using=85)=85
I'll try to install Mac OS X and YDL on the same Xserve but I'm =

very optimistic=85 Any tips?
Thanks for your attention,
