Bug Description

Installation of Ubuntu succeeds on a PowerMac G5 2.0 DP (Mid-2004 - M9455LL/A - PowerMac7,3 - A1047 - 1969C), but
Yaboot does not load the OS afterwards.

This was tested at first on a multiboot configuration (together with MacOS Leopard) and later on a single partition (=Linux) configuration to no avail. The target is a Intel 320 SSD rested in the lower bay (B).

In the latter (more basic) configuration Yaboot starts right away but still can't properly initiate the Linux boot.

Error msg:

Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.16
