>1) do you have the kernel and the ramdisk in your Mac system folder? |
2 |
>2) did you _rename_ the ramdisk according to the instructions in the |

I also am having trouble installing using BootX. I've been unable to |
6 |
install on my PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet). I have tried various |
7 |
locations for the files, including those specified above (from the BootX |
8 |
docs). I get the following: |

While the EXT2-fs errors concern me, I long since learned to start with |
35 |
the first error message, so the "crc error" wedged in the middle has my |
36 |
concern now. I am able to uncompress the initrd.img file on my Intel |
37 |
gentoo linux box using gunzip. I have the ramdisk size textbox in BootX |
38 |
set to 34000. I have been able to install SuSE linux on this box, using BootX. |

I would appreciate any ideas on what to try next. |
