I have tried every option yet this is all I get, any ideas? Could I have burned the CD wrong? Mikael
G4/PCI round 2!
Ok I might have screwed this up in burning the CD because I couldn't boot by holding C, but no problem I used the open firmware to boot into yaboot. This is where the problems are, I press enter to run the default install, it says "Loading kernel" then stops and says "Image not found" and goes back to" boot>". Anyone know where I went wrong? Did I burn the CD wrong or is something else not working?
G4 PCI install problems
Title: G4 PCI install problems I have been trying to get mandrake to install on a G4 PCI, this is the only computer I have available to put mandrake on so I haven't had any success yet. My computer's Configuration is as follows: Ram: 256 MB Hardware: Model name: Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics) |Machine speed: 400 MHz Drives: Internal ATA 1 ID = 0 Hard drive | Driver version: 3.2.6 Mac OS partitions:1 | Capacity: 9.55 GB ID = 1 Hard drive | Driver version: 3.2.6 Mac OS partitions:2 | Capacity: 42 GB Partition 1 Volume format: Mac OS Extended (HFS+) | Capacity: 29 GB Partition 2 Volume format: Mac OS Extended (HFS+) | Capacity: 9 GB Display card: Card type: display | Card name: ATI Rage128y Card model: ATI Rage128 | VRAM size: 16 MB Sorry about the length of that there, just giving all relevant data. Anyway, I have the ISO images burned on to 2 CDs. My goal is to get mandrake to install on the 5GB that are remaining on the ATA 1 ID 1 45GB drive. I am able to boot of the CD either from open firmware or by holding down the C key. The problem exists once I choose an install type, no matter what type of install I chose it starts to load, then I get the following as the text scrolls by. "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 1832 (error 4200)" shortly after followed by "Kernel Panic: kernel access of bad area PC c00a44fc lr c0004c50 address 1832 tsh swapper /1". And this is where I am stuck, any ideas?
