So, I tried the above but that is not working for me. I had also lost my MacOSX entry in yaboot at a certain point with Mandrake but the drakboot tool in the mandrakecc let you easily put it back in ordrer. For the eject problem, what returns the eject command ? best olivier Hi Olivier: Well, I tried to add Mac OS X using the drakboot in mcc. It did not work. I tried to boot into OS X but all I got was a blank screen. When I booted into mdk , kde opened up the Kscd player so that kept me from using the eject command. Once I closed Kscd off my taskbar. Eject in a term worked. I now have Mac OS X installed and I will do mdk 9.1 soon. I get cable next week for my internet so I would like to try cooker later. I did notice when I shut down 9.1 I see nothing on the screen? man_linux

Then when you reboot use to start linux: linux video=ofonly You may want to install the benh kernel (with rpmdrake or urpmi) and add an entry in yaboot for it with drakboot ; i use the following kernel option to get a better pmud experience : video=ofonly devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off I also needed to do: % cd /dev % sudo ln -s scd0 cdrom to be able to eject my CD driver with the eject command. I still have some problem with system time (was first blocked at 1904, now get stuck in 1970, and I don't remember why it changed ...)
