As I understand you do not even get the Linux boot menu? what type of medium did you use? DVD -R / +R / RW?

Did you burn de DVD on the ppc?

Thanks for the reply, open firmware is not working so holding the c key on boot just crashes out into yaboot. But yaboot is working. I,ve been having a ppc distro install fest and its allows osx ,cd and the other distrosto boot ok.
The installer starts from the cd but fails to see its self? it say there is no cd in the drive but its running off that drive.
The md5sum is ok. . The medium dvd -R all burnt with linux using gnome baker or k3b at a slow rate. I thought it may be my scsi card with a drive with osx on confusing it so I removed the card still no luck. I unplugged all usb devices except kb and mouse incase it was confused by my usb dvd burner.

I saw this thread but thought it more appropriate to post on the ppc forumhttp://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=28721
