I have already posted this on some yellowdog mailling

My issue is just as applicable to fedora ppc so trying
here as well.
I have a blue and white 400Mhz G3 with 1 20gb Western
Digital HD and 1
Maxtor 300gb HD. I am running the 20gb drive as the
boot drive with MacOSX Tiger. Without any patches the
300gb drive is seen as a 137gb drive -- With Intech's
ATA HD patch -- I can set multiple 137gb partitions
and use almost the entire 300gb.
What sort of patches are you talking about - Open Firmware/FCode patches
or OS X kernel patches?
Also are you running the most recent firmware patches from Apple for the
B&W?
I would like to set
this machine up dual boot -- MacOSX and Fedora ppc
linux. However with both Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core
5 ppc installers -- I can boot the machine just fine
and run the installer to the partitioning stage -- but
it never actually writes any linux packages to the HD
at all the installer locks up when I try to write
partitions to either drive ...
Can you give more details on the lock - is it just a lock or is it a
traceback/error message. Can you switch ttys to tty3 and tty4? If so are
there any messages there?
