I used these bits on 2 machines, seemed to work for me, but I don't have bleeding edge hardware:

(see the doc on the current ISO for details on this). BootX folks, the procedure is the same, you just need the henh kernel and initrd. For stage 2 copy modules.cz-2.4.20-benh-2mdkBOOT into Mandrake/mdkinst/lib, where your installer tree may reside. I've also uploaded a mini ISO, with the yaboot entry, if you need to boot from CD: [stew@powerbook stew]$ ls -l benh-test.iso -rw-rw-r-- 1 stew stew 29751296 Dec 26 14:32 benh-test.iso [stew@powerbook stew]$ md5sum benh-test.iso 048ac4e474faa3cb4b6af855b57ead1d benh-test.iso The problem I hit on NewWorld is something has changed in the /proc area and now ofpath returns an error, rather than the ofpath translation of the linux device name. If I roll back to the 2.4.18 kernel, I don't see the error. Even on my running system it now returns the long form rather than a simple hd:6, but it doesn't error out. Looking at it again, it seems to be a bug in ofpath. I edited line 353 from: pci-ide|pci-ata) to: pci-ide|pci-ata|ide) By doing a chroot /mnt from VT2 and I was able to complete the install. This will be easy enough to patch into the yaboot package if others see a similar issue. My machine is an iMac Rev B. It should still be adequate to see if graphical install works on the new machines until I iron this out. Let me know how it goes.
