You can try the following kernel for installing Debian Sarge using the MkLinux booter http://www.nubuslinux.org/MachKernel-sarge-050115.gz or http://www.nubuslinux.org/vmlinux-2.4.27-050122.gz for use with BootX. I've successfully installed to a PowerBook 5300ce using MkLinux and a Performa 6290 using BootX with these kernels. If anyone else has any success with these please let me know. I plan to update the website with links once they have been tested on a few more models. > I built a cross-compiling environment as described here [1] > > Best regards, > |
