Hello! |
2 |
|
3 |
I am posting this to both gentoo-user and gentoo-ppc-user lists. |
4 |
My problem concerns the installation of Gentoo Linux on my G4 iMac, |
5 |
using the 2005.1 universal ppc disk. |
6 |
|
7 |
I should first mention that I have done this before, using the 2005.0 |
8 |
disk, and there was no trouble whatsoever. |
9 |
|
10 |
Now I have the same hardware and the same partitions. The install |
11 |
process went smoothly to its end, the kernel compiled at the first |
12 |
attempt, and the bootloader is well configured. |
13 |
|
14 |
But when I boot and choose "l for Linux", I get this message (copied by |
15 |
hand): |
16 |
|
17 |
Please wait, loading kernel |
18 |
Elf32 kernel loaded |

Loading System.map |

System.map loaded at 01700000, size:260 Kbytes |

Opening display /pci@f0/NVDA,NVMac@10... ok |

Copying OF device tree...done |
23 |
Calling quiesce... |
24 |
returning 0x01400000 from prom_init |
25 |
|
26 |
And then everything hangs; the only way out is to cut the power. |
27 |
|
28 |
This is quite obscure to me and I am completely puzzled. I have found |
29 |
this occurrence (or something similar) reported a number of times on the |
30 |
Web, but without any useful answer. |
31 |
|
32 |
Has anybody on this list got an idea? I shall be grateful for all |
33 |
suggestions. |
