Hello
List,
The installation of FC-12 went very smoothly. I removed all external devices and unnecessary seated cards, to do the install. Then, the reboot screen appeared. I clicked on the reboot button, and the computer rebooted. During the reboot procedure, the yaboot (the apple macintosh boot loader) screen appeared. The following options were presented:
l linux
x macosx
o openfirmware
n network
c cdrom
I entered an l, at the boot prompt, and the booting procedure continued to boot linux.
During the boot process, an Oops! machine check 7... occurred. Followed by a trace and other information. The machine check, Oops, appears to revolve around ochi1394, or firewire. Incedently, the computer's 2 external firewire ports, and the internal firewire port are no longer working.
With FC-11, this very same machine check, Oops, occurred. Also, after loading all necessary linux software components, the login screen would appear. After logging into FC-11's gnome or KDE desktop, a kernel report (which was probably related to the Oops!) would be automatically generated and sent to whomever.
In this version of linux, FC-12, the boot procedure stops loading after eth1 (apple wireless base station check), and simply stands still.
What changed in the boot load process? Were additional stringent modules, components, checks, or procedures added?
The boot process does not allow the welcome screen to appear.
What is the possible solution? I would like to know.
Thank you
Linux user
