This is weird? I know that there was a lot on this because of the OSX upgrade breaking the Debian boot. I kept one message from Wolfgang Pfeiffer with the following subject just in case I had to refer back: Re: Upgrade Mac OS X 10.2.8 stops 2.4.21-ben2 But I've just done a search on debian-powerpc and it comes up with no results. Here's the text: From: Wolfgang Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 23:17:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Re: Upgrade Mac OS X 10.2.8 stops 2.4.21-ben2 On Fri, 10 Oct 2003, Michel D?nzer wrote: > On Thu, 2003-10-09 at 17:14, Wolfgang Pfeiffer wrote: > > > > My idea would be to mount the non-booting Debian partition with a > > Debian Installer CD and then chroot into this Debian system [...] > > Or just download a known working (and preferably non-modular :) kernel > (and yaboot, if necessary) to a Mac OS partition and boot the > installed > system itself using that. .... which means (doesn't it?) proceeding similar as Branden Robinson suggested on his page http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook/ Excerpt: "Restart the computer and hold down the four keys command + option + O + F. This puts you into OpenFirmware, which is a kind of boot monitor. At the OpenFirmware prompt, type the following: boot hd:9,yaboot The digit in this command may differ for your system; see above. If you don't know the number of the partition you have set aside from Debian, try other numbers." But this time the booting kernel (yaboot etc.) is living on the Mac OS X partition itself instead of the one created for Debian. Did I get this correctly? Thanks in anticipation, There were a number of other posts from people suffering similar problem. The thought police must have removed them ;) Or I dreamt it.
