I think I have narrowed the problem down to something wrong with BootX. Using BootX 1.2b (in debug mode), I get as far as Exiting BootX! message, then it clears the screen, but does not produce the booting... message, it just sits there with a nice blank screen while still remaining powered up. I had someone try this on an iMac Rev.B and it produces lots of debug information after the booting. Does anyone have any ideas why? (or better still, someone with a better idea of how bootX works that might have some suggestions). There is a PICT screen shot of the last screen in BootX before the blank screen, available from: ftp.one.net/pub/users/johnb/screenshot.gz there is also a file there called imacdv.tgz with a complete dump from name display registry.. i'm hoping to get this working soon as i need the imac booting for a college project :) thanks John Buswell 4th Year IT&T Student University of Limerick ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
