I am not looking for a quick noob fix, nor necessarily the best,

however,

I CANNOT understand any of the other ridiculous fixes, especially the ones that all seem geared for nvidia and written...

I have a brand new Toshiba L675 Satellite, and for some reason it won't boot without passing acpi=off to the kernel at boot... But this is a pain because the battery meter now has no display! it's...

Yeah, well I have, as previously mentioned... so :( I can't even get geexbox or finnix to load either... from CD or USB

No installation disc/live CD will boot for PPC linux, either via thumb drive, CD drive, nor with/without original apple harddrive.

news flash... debian NetInst 5.0 PPC will not work either... going to try the gentoo livecd.

Hello, I have acquired a powerbook g4 and am having issues getting it to boot.

I have tried from usb thumb drive, and my cd drive from my hp laptop as my powerbook has a bad drive... which is...

Well those ironic b**tards... that's why there's not enough call for it.
Let's estimate that for instance, that everyone was "EXTREMELY" linux competent... fixing that small issue, would make it...

It does, I even installed the newest firmware as it probably hasn't been plugged into the internet since like... a year ago probably. Thought the update might fix it, but it didn't :(

Thanks so much. It's not so much a technical issue with linux as it is the PS3s format utility.

Well I will tomorrow, it is in the living room, an I was pretty sure of that myself due to the installing of the 320gig, but thanks for confirming in your opinion that it should have no ill effects....

I have the gist of it... but... what I don't see a workaround for is the fact that the playstation 3 only allows either 10gigs for the game OS or 10 gigs for the "OTHER OS" Irregardless of what size...

I think hacking the BIOS will work for anyone still interested ;) I will release an edited winflash soon as I remember how to do it, that will enable the advanced Bios options... stay tuned. I'm not...

mine was at 400 at staples too, but it is valued at 800 originally... I think that's including the vista premium price :)) but seriously, I got 32 bit 8.04.1 32 bit installed finally... and then boom...

:( If anyone bought this laptop, I recommend trading it.

Sadly so far all i've got to install is Mandriva sucessfully from an older DVD

STATUS UPDATE: Cannot load HP Chat on Linux in Firefox on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit, So can't even talk to the dirty bad men who don't want me to run OPEN SOURCE

Yeah, so no go... I just wasted my life by 36 H(our)P(oints) if that Laptop doesn't get linux installed. I'd rather use it as a paperweight.

HP only offers linux support to corporate people?!...

Hey that just might work, but I am not going with the dual boot. I despise windows in all aspects, and am going to try to just do away with it. If not I do computer repair as a job, so coming by a...

Perhaps someone could link me to a tutorial to putting the iso on athumb drive for installation... my only issue with that is, as is with the install on the other computer, running linux on it, the...

So it seems to be the CD after trying many different linuxes, I had this issue with another laptop sr0 buffer i/o error so... I dunno

the other laptop would install 7.04 fine, buuuut it wouldn't...

i will see what i can do then. I did try the alternate cd and it gave me the same issues.

neither of those options were there and this was a cheap black friday special

That did not work. I will try your second suggestion, except for one thing, this is a laptop.

So use all three extra options? I've only tried each seperately, I'll try this and get back to you.

Hey, just bought a HP G50 109NR and the install only gets partway through, before hanging at probably 20% on the loading bar.

It drops to busybox with 8.04.1 and freezes completely with 8.10

It...
