Non-booting PPC DVD

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All-

I just ran headfirst into bug 151234 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151234) whereby the FC4T1 DVD is not bootable. (whoops!) Maybe now that Linus Torvalds is using a Power Mac (http://news.com.com/Torvalds+switches+to+Apple/2100-1003_3 -5606030.html) he can help troubleshoot some of these issues ;)

In any case, does anyone have any instructions on making the install work on a Power Mac? I would love to help report bugs, but it's hard to do when I can't install the OS in the first place. I have seen some references to mounting the ISO and extracting the boot CD and/or using Paul's USB Boot Image (http://people.redhat.com/pnasrat/ppcboot.img) but when I attempt to mount the ISO or the boot image using the Disk Utility on OS X, I get a message that there are no mountable filesystems.

For that matter, the burned DVD is not readable from within OS X (although the i386 version is...)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

-Sean :)
