| 11:43.48 | nido | hello |
| 11:45.06 | nido | I've installed debian on a Mac PowerBook G4 I found. It came without harddrive so I gave it a 1.3gb IDE drive (only one I had left). I've installed debian on it; this went fine; but when i boot it I get the 'macos logo'/questionmark blink in a folder. The ide drive is accessed during boot so I think i may have some issues with yaboot. any suggestions? |
| 11:54.39 | DelTree | do you have the partition map and bootstrap partitions ? |
| 11:58.55 | nido | I used the suggested defaults |
| 11:59.22 | nido | boots the netinstall cd |
| 12:08.07 | nido | okay; I have hda1; which is an extended partition; hda5; which is of the hfs type and has the boot flag set; there's hda6, which is / and ext3; and there's hda7' which is swap |
| 12:08.21 | nido | the netinstall livecd doesn't want to mount hda5 |
| 12:09.23 | DelTree | extended partition ? |
| 12:09.33 | DelTree | looks like windows partitionning... |
| 12:12.09 | nido | it's how the installer suggested to partition |
| 12:12.21 | nido | 'guided - use entire disk' |
| 12:12.47 | nido | hda6 mounts fine though |
| 12:16.23 | nido | hda5 is also only 2 mb large. I guess that's where yaboot should be or something |
| 12:28.29 | nido | what would be the preferred layout? |
| 13:12.44 | simonrvn | macs don't need this extended partition shite |
| 13:13.17 | simonrvn | the boot part. should be small, tha's indeed where yaboot gets installed |
| 13:13.50 | simonrvn | fuck, i'd do it manually if the netinst suggested that... |
| 13:19.09 | nido | hrm |
| 13:19.11 | nido | It works now |
| 13:19.52 | nido | I let it redo the partitioning; it chose a 1 mb boot partition instead of a 2mb (last time) one. Then; the installed complained it should be at least 8 mb. When I set it manually to 8MB; it now installed correctly |
