My iMac DV has the original 10GB hard drive. I have no problem
booting OS-X from an external Firewire drive, so wanted to use the
small internal drive for Linux only.
It sure seems strange that both YDL and Ubuntu do essentially the
same thing. I'm wondering if there is a problem in partitioning, but
in automatic mode, that should be taken care of. You'd think. Or
possibly something to do with the PRAM?

Either a out-of-disk space issue ... or unable to remount the
partition to
affect the write. Have you by any chance upgraded the drive to a
larger than
original size?

I have tried twice to install YDL, and each time it goes through the

Performing Post Install Configuration
The status bar is about half way across, and the computer is totally
locked. Cursor doesn't move, no response to any keys or key
combinations, only the hardware reset button works.
Oddly enough, I have a very similar effect when trying to load
Ubuntu
(tried twice also). It goes through the whole process, then at the
end it doesn't lock up but gives the message that it cannot install
yaboot. Why, I don't know. But in both cases, the install isn't
completed, so I can't use Linux to troubleshoot.
This is on an iMac-DV. It's running OS-X Tiger, but is somewhat
sluggish (usually), being only a 400MHz machine. Hoping to get a
performance boost with Linux.
Has anybody else run into this?
Anybody found a work-around or fix around for this?
