FC4 on iMac G5, try #2

[Ramón Rey Vicente]

Hi all.

Well, I tried this morning the installation of FC4 after reading  
gentoo documentation about partitioning scheme in ppc. The  
information I could understood was that the first partition in the  
partitioning process must be numbered 2 (for example, /dev/sda2)  
instead of /dev/sda1. The partitioning tool in anaconda create  
partitions starting with number 1, and I think this is confusing for  
openfirmware and/or yaboot in the installation/booting process.

After creating the partitions scheme from a gentoo live-cd, with mac- 
fdisk, i installed succesfully FC4 in my iMac G5. Well, the problems  
started with the first runnning wizard. When the wizard show the  
sound devices and click on test the hardware, the system hangs. After  
this, I booted one more time FC4, and passed the wizard without  
touching nothing ;-). And then I reboot.

The rhgb works fine and finish the booting process with the greeter/ 
gdm screen, but... no keyboard, no mouse detected. Well, this is far  
far away than the first attempt to install FC4 I made, but, the  
graphical environment is now the problem. I have a apple keyboard and  
mouse (one click mouse).
