Thread: 10.04 boot from disc blackSOD imac g4
assistance here? guide me right forum? new macs
trying install 10.04 on ilamp g4: 1g, 512 mhz, 80 g hd.
when booting cd, can hear disc spinning, ubuntu boot sound, , have black nothing on screen. no rainbow sparkles, no flashes, dead screen.
booting normal fine, no problems in os x
same disc installed fine on a similar model had 800mhz processor, 1 year older. forums graphics card can cause screen problems, total blackout before anything? if so, how tweak without being able linux prompt, etc.
nice.![]()
since osx boots, may not resolution, had similar problems g4 cube "back in day". worked me reset pram holding down option, "open apple", p , r keys upon start-up , keeping them depressed until chimes rang second time.
other ideas: obtain alternate install iso same site (sounds booting "live cd") downloaded current iso, check md5sum, burn cd-r @ slow speed, see if boots black , white rudimentary yaboot display on screen.
