Putting linuxPPC on my new pismo

I realize that there has been a lot of discussion about this. However, I
havent seen my problem mentioned.

When I try to install linuxPPC 2000 on my brand new PB2000, I get the
error:

hda: lost interrupt

Any suggestions?

I am reasonably familiar with linux on intel systems, and have installed
linuxPPC on my wife's iMac, but I dont know where to go from here...

If you searched the archives for your error message, you would find the
answer you seek (it is not a powerbook only problem).

Make sure you are using yaboot to boot the powerbook, not bootX.  Using
bootX on the newworld machines causes that problem to occur.

Don't use BootX; you have to use yaboot.
