Dear Forum,
It would seem that the ydl version 4.0.1 distro installer/bootkernel is broken.

Please see our 2 (two) prior posts in the G4 G5 and XServe section

Threads:

Titled: iMac G5 17" - access of bad area, sig: 11[#1] - Kernel

and........

Titled: ydl ver 4.0.1 installer broken on PPC64

http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopi ... =3639#3639

You need to put a "Sticky" up ydl re: ver 4.0.1 on Apple G5's being broken, and "NOT" installable !!!!!

ALSO....... you may care to tell all your clients those who pay and those who don't when you intend to release a version that doesn't have a broken kernel / installer,,,,,, ASAP......... AND....... get it onto your ydl mirrors, to try to sooth some of our pain.


regards
tom_anna (and family) :cry:

im not sure but their maybe necessary kernel apends to get it to boot properly - anyone on the board w/ experience on this? Id also suggest dropping by the ydl chat room on freenode #yellowdog and possibly politely asking there
