This log line is not related to your problem. hw-detect is letting us know that the pata_macio module does not exist, anymore. No harm comes out of it. The pata-macio module was compiled in the kernel since November 2011 and is working fine, at least for me. Boot into the installer again. When you get to the problematic point choose 'Save debug logs' from the 'Debian installer main menu'. Attach the files to this bug report. They may reveal what is going on. You may try to start the installer form an external firewire cd/dvd drive. See: http://lists.debian.org/4fdd55cc.7020...@physics.harvard.edu You may also try to boot the installer form the USB stick directly. It is not quite straightforward how to do it, but try this: Copy .iso to a USB memory stick using dd. sudo dd if=debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso of=/dev/sd[x] Unplug all USB devices and hubs, except the keyboard and mouse. Plug the USB memory stick directly into the machine. Restart the machine while holding option+command+o+f keys. On the Open Firmware prompt type: boot usb0/disk:,\install\yaboot if it does not work, one of these should, depending on which connector you plugged the USB memory stick in: boot usb1/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb2/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-1a/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-1b/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-1c/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-2a/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-2b/disk:,\install\yaboot boot usb-2c/disk:,\install\yaboot On some machines usb device aliases can be different. To get hints where the USB device is and which alias could be the right one, type: devalias and dev / ls -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
