I have been trying to install SuSE OSS ppc 10.0 for the last few days on both a G3 iMac, and a G4 PowerBook with no success on either. I actually thrashed the HD on the iMac and had to reinstall OS X. First problem is MD5 check fails. I burned the discs, reburned, re-downloaded then reburned, then re-downloaded from a different mirror and reburned. Each senario the MD5 check fails. So I try to continue without cheking media. When it is time to partition, I get Error -1012 cannot set hda to 102. I used my Ubuntu disc to set the partition tables, then started over with SuSE choosing to "Upgrade". This worked until I got to the boot loader, and I have the same troubles that bhagiratha is reporting in the post above this one. Am I burning the discs wrong in Mac OS X. I have tried burning with toast 6 and with apple's disc utility.

thanks in advance for any advice
