Hello to all! Well, I have also a PPC 8500 with all Parts, that where inside from the Apple.
I had the same Problems with ydl 3.0 and 4.0 . The Problem is the Kermel, what is used to get the System installed. You will not get the Problem with the Installation solved by your self, you need a modified Kernel to install succesfull. Somebody made for the install of ydl 4.0 a Kernel to install, what I have used for a successfull Installation. The Problem seens to be, that the (Install)Kernel from the Install-CD does not support the MESH-SCSI Controller, what is in the PPC 8500. In between i tried also Mandrake, where you can select for for your Controller a Driver, if you have Problems, that the Media wont get found. That is the Reason, why I believe, that the (Install)Kernel for ydl 3.0 and 4.0 does not support the MESH-SCSI Controller.
