I thought that it was a "BIOS" time problem and I reset it in open firmware. Everything went ok till next shut down and switch on |

| 13:26.33 | gomaaz | hi |
| 13:27.16 | gomaaz | I've got a booting prob in debian (and also other distributions). It just won't boot. system tray icon appears blinking...guess it is a yaboot cause |
| 13:27.33 | gomaaz | <- G5 ... someone who has got experience in that? |

| 13:44.07 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Someone just had similar problem with PowerMacintosh G3... I suggested to try "grub-ieee1275" instead of "yaboot" |

| 13:47.29 | *** join/#debianppc ravenbird (simon@unaffiliated/simonrvn/bot/ravenbird) |
| 13:50.07 | gomaaz_ | is it possible? |
| 13:50.18 | gomaaz_ | I thought yaboot is the only choice for new world macs |
| 13:50.39 | simonrvn | pahartik seems to have had some measure of success with grub2 |
| 13:51.53 | gomaaz_ | at first I don't know how to reach the apple bootrap partition to install another bootloader or even to configure yaboot |
| 13:52.03 | gomaaz_ | through OS X? |
| 13:52.18 | simonrvn | no. os x would probably kill it. |
| 13:52.53 | gomaaz_ | so what do I have to do then? ^^ |
| 13:53.24 | simonrvn | esp. if you used disk utility, i would think. "helpfully" reformatting it or something. ask him, not me. me, i had mounted it manually to put the stuff in. |
| 13:53.56 | gomaaz_ | k i'll check the dia |
| 14:06.57 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Recent versions of "grub-ieee1275" have worked on my iBook G4 and PowerMacintosh G4 MDD SMP |
| 14:08.48 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Not that there would have been noticeable problem with "yaboot" either |
| 14:11.49 | gomaaz_ | hm |
| 14:12.13 | gomaaz_ | I ust don't know how to configure it |
| 14:12.29 | gomaaz_ | looked so long for a solution :/ |
| 14:13.13 | gomaaz_ | maybe another partition mac would help? |
| 14:13.27 | gomaaz_ | sda 2 - aple boot 1 MB |
| 14:13.38 | gomaaz_ | sda 3 /boot ext4 200 MB |
| 14:13.48 | gomaaz_ | sda 4 swap 2 gigs |
| 14:13.59 | gomaaz_ | sda 5 / ext4 rest of the gigs |
| 14:14.14 | gomaaz_ | so yaboot hast to be on sda 2 right? |
| 14:14.18 | gomaaz_ | -t |
| 14:28.24 | pahartik | gomaaz_: That looks correct |
| 14:29.04 | gomaaz_ | so on debian or yellow dog yaboot is being installed by the installer right? |
| 14:29.54 | gomaaz_ | stupid quest... I guess yeah it would |
| 14:30.23 | gomaaz_ | but I guess I need to configure it....but how O.o |
| 18:13.58 | gomaaz_ | sigh |
| 18:29.54 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Have you attempted to boot from OpenFirmware console? |

| 23:04.51 | gomaaz_ | pahartik |
| 23:04.56 | gomaaz_ | no I don't know how ^^ |
| 23:05.11 | gomaaz_ | so I can boot into openfirmware |

| 23:05.45 | gomaaz_ | Ill give it a try tomorrow |
| 23:07.56 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Trying tomorrow is always good |
| 23:09.09 | gomaaz_ | maybe acrox is also available tomorrow ^^ |
| 23:10.04 | pahartik | gomaaz_: What is that? |
| 23:13.13 | gomaaz_ | somebody told me he got the know how about linux on ppc |
| 23:14.38 | gomaaz_ | but when Im boot ing in Openfirmware..how could I boot wiht linux then? |
| 23:17.35 | gomaaz_ | http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=118663 |
| 23:17.40 | gomaaz_ | I posted a topic |
| 23:17.50 | pahartik | gomaaz_: If environment variables have been set properly, just "boot" could do it |
| 23:18.08 | gomaaz_ | oh its a german board... I forgot |
| 23:18.16 | gomaaz_ | only boot? |
| 23:19.32 | gomaaz_ | but there at the topic you can see my partitions and my yaboot config file |
| 23:24.21 | pahartik | gomaaz_: Something like "boot hd:2" |
| 23:25.38 | gomaaz_ | i try |
| 23:25.40 | gomaaz_ | hang on |
| 23:26.19 | gomaaz_ | cant open device or file...no-sata port |
| 23:28.36 | pahartik | gomaaz_: You might have to pick right device from "devalias" output |
