Hello! I have been driven over the edge with this problem. I can successfully install Mandrake 8.0 PPC on my Rev.B Bondi iMac and I can get the bootloader installed (yaboot). Yaboot can boot Mac OS, the CDROM, and the Open Firmware but I can never get Linux to boot. I either get Loading Image.....(and it never loads) or the error message that it can't find the image.
I have tried everything I could find on the web, in the document pages and I have posed this question on many Forums but I have not ever gotten answer. It seems that everyone can get the damn thing booted , and then have problems afterwards or have problems with the bootloader, but I don't have any troubles with install/configuration just booting. I am extremely frustrated and getting to wits end with Mandrake in general because of the endless problems I have been having with PPC 8.0 and the horrid PC 8.1 version. Please help me, after three months of frustration I need answers. I so much would like to run Mandrake on both my machines but I really need help getting going on my iMac. (The PC 8.0 runs just fine for me.) Aaron Stechesen
