Installation on a iMac G5

Postby galois » 27 Aug 2010, 10:44

Hi,

I just installed yld 6.2 on my iBook G4 without any issues. After some "test-days" I decided to install yld on my iMac G5 1.9 GHz PowerPc too. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I boot from the same CD as for the iBook but after several seconds my desktop is freezing.
I hope that somone could help me. I'm thankful for every possible solution!

cheers galois

Courtesy bump - anyone have any G5 suggestions? (I have a PS3, or I'd chime in here.)

Cheers,
Paul

I haven't installed YDL on an iMac G5 but I have on a PowerMac G5. Where exactly is it freezing for you? Do you get as far as the yaboot menu to select the install options or as far as Anaconda? Perhaps try the text based install to see what happens.

Thanks

Hi

Similar problem here: iMac G5 starts installation of YDL 6.2 and freezes without any real error after:

Setup done
[boot]0015 Setup Done
Built 1 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 387840
Policy zone: DMA
Kernel command line: ro text
mpic: Setting up MPIC " MPIC 1 " version 1.2 at f8040000, max 4 CPUs
mpic: ISU size: 124, shift: 7, mask: 7f

Same issue when booting install-text

Same DVD worked on my PowerBook G4
