I gave up and installed 12.10 via the alternate install (also solved the reject disc problems, apparently my drive only likes to boot dvds...)

The yaboot was configured correctly and the boot...

UPDATE:

Got the yboot configured correctly...well sorta.

I actually had to create my own yaboot.conf because for some reason the installer didn't make one.

I finished setting it up, and for...

Got ubuntu 12.04 installed. Problem is, I get that questionmark/dirty-apple-grin folder icon A.K.A yaboot has a problem, or the device isn't correctly configured. Working on the currently...

Hello all,

I'm trying to slap a nice version of ubuntu onto this G5 Power Mac I have (PowerPC G5 3.0, 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD, GeForce FX 5200) but I'm having a problem booting from the disc.
...

Thanks, I was just wondering why it wasn't installing.

Is there something that can do the same things that are available for PPC chips?

Hi all, I am having a problem installing wine and blueman on my PPC ubuntu 8.04 hardy. I go to the wine site and run the terminal commands,

wget -q...

Hi all, I'm having the exact same problem but I don't understand what you guys are saying (I'm still windows savy). could you describe it in words I can understand?

How do I do that exactly?

UPDATE: Everything matchs what I booted with and the yabootconfig is working.

BINGO, YES!!! Your second solution seemed to have worked and I think I know why. I was looking around inside my computer and I noticed where my hard disk was located. It was in slot B, meaning slave,...

And thats it, just run that command with the --noinstall? Or should I try tiresia's 4 solutions first?

UPDATE - IMPORTANT!!!: I did the ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid command and this is what I got (I...

root@ubuntu:/# ls /dev/disk
by-id by-label by-path by-uuid
root@ubuntu:/#


I'm going to have to finish this (I hope), a bit later. Going somewhere and will be back in about 4 hours.

Well all of them were not found anyway, and I think that matters.

LOL!!!!, I love linux (top line):


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ yabootconfig --debug
yabootconfig: You are not root, go away
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo yabootconfig --debug
yabootconfig: DEBUG: ROOT=unionfs...

Pre-note, UPDATE in my last post.

Ok now here:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount...

First three:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/media/disk/proc
mount: mount point /mnt/media/disk/proc does not exist
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o blind /dev /mnt/media/disk/dev...

I only have one 320GB SATA disk installed on my computer and I would like to have Mac OS X on my computer, but I do not.

Situation 1: can't OPEN hd:,\\tbxi
Situation 2: can't OPEN hd/disk@0:2,\\:tbxi

OK here:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /mnt/yaboot.conf
## yaboot.conf generated by the Ubuntu installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make...

OK so I did the 1st option and did the yabootconfig --debug and now restarting (I did notice the last line after I ran the yabootconfig, I said "unable to determine OpenFirmware device name to...

OK, so I've replaced the ofpath with the instructions and the other patch that you gave me and when I ran the command it said the drive's full name (/ht/pci...disk@0). I put it into the yaboot.conf...

OK, I've copied the patched ofpath the the dir of my old one and still doesn't work. Now I'm trying the alternate disc.

First off, nobody that I talk to for help has ever been annoying and why should you be if your helping me with my most hardest problem. Secondly I'm trying to replace the other ofpath with the patch...

OK, I will try what you just suggested, but I think I have solved the problem. I know that there is a bug in the ofpath command and that there is a patch for it. But I cannot use the patch because of...

None of them work.
