[Bug 34508] Re: 2.6.15 kernel fails to boot on ppc machine

[mungewell]

Horay it works! - sort of...

But not untill I had worked through some hassles.

In my situation the internal CD is bust on my iMac (266MHz) so I have to
copy bits of the CD to harddisk and the use open firmware to boot them
(with 'boot hd:,\xubuntu\install\yaboot') and also use an external USB
cd for once the kernel gets going....

[best to leave to absolute confirmation from someone with a working CD]

Observations (which may require seperate bug reports).

1) Yaboot.conf points to kernel '\install\powerpc\vmlinuz', however it
is really '\casper\powerpc\vmlinuz'

2) Xserver config is wrong and requires xorg.conf hacking to get
working.

3) Network is not recognised, doesn't even show up on 'lspci'.


Next is to try an install.... :-)
Simon.
