Hello,

I am having trouble while installing 2006.1 on my iMac. I have made other installations before, but never had this problem. I am using the Universal ppc disk, and I have followed strictly all the steps in the 2006.1 handbook. I have not made any modules, everything is in the kernel.

What happens is that, on the final reboot, I see 10 or 15 lines of text (is that the Open Firmware part?) that disappear immediately. Then there is nothing, and I have to cut the power to go on.

I have also made a more complete version of yaboot.conf with macos, macosx, etc. Then the bootloader shows these options (ignores enablecdboot and enableofboot, though). Typing x for macosx
starts it normally, but l for linux fails as described above.

This is done without an Internet connexion. I haven't got one yet because my new modem is a Speedtouch 510v5 Ethernet type, which works very well with osx, but is notoriously troublesome with Linux (but this is another affair).

I should be grateful for any hints.

Charles
