almost installed on iMac G5 (iSight)

[khb]

Well,

After unsuccessful attempt to install / boot of live CD w/ 5.10 did get installation started with 6.06. Default install would lead to frozen black screen, but did find out that both
"install-powerpc64 video=ofonly" and "oem-powerpc64 video=ofonly" work. After fumbling through setting up partitions on an external FW HD everything seems to go smoothly, except I eventually get a message about yaboot failing to install (happened twice). When I go ahead finish the installation without fixing the yahoo problem (don't know how - hence this post) I'm left with a unbootable installation. I'd appreciate any help/work-arounds. Thanks.

Re: almost installed on iMac G5 (iSight)

Downloaded flight 7 live CD, would not boot. Both the splash screen and no splash screen proceed for a while and then get stuck with black screen.

Downloaded flight 7 install CD, trying to install it on external FW HD, seems to go fine until yaboot boot loader fails to install. Is there a work-around? Thanks.
