Description of problem: I was unable to boot from the FC4-test1-ppc-DVD, so I used the boot.iso in order to create a bootable CD. When I choose to install from CD, my powerbook G4 17" 1.5GHz doesn't eject the CD when asking for the Fedora CD. No tty is yet available at this point. I had to install over http. I guess the CD has to be ejected at the end of the installation process before Reboot, and it doesn't. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version included in FC4-test1-ppc. How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from FC4-test1 boot CD (boot.iso); 2. Choose the CD-ROM installation method. Actual results: eject failed Expected results: the CD is ejected Additional info: Also, why can't we boot from the DVD? Maybe it has something to do with the DVD standards supported by my powerbook's superdrive? Many thanks for your time and help
OK I see what is happening here. Can you just confirm if in tty3 you get an eject failed message - and transcribe that here.
Yes I verified that log and it was saying "eject failed". Unfortunatly I'm not home, so I'll paste the exact output later today. (I'm in Paris, GMT+1)
For those having issues with eject who can't do a network install Here is a 32 bit image that will boot your mac off a usb key It's a hd image with mac partition table, a hfs apple_bootstrap and an ext2 partition with the kernel/initrd. Created on an x86 linux box with parted, hfsutils, and offset loopback mount for the ext2 parts. http://people.redhat.com/pnasrat/ppcboot.img 0074caa1772d12ee969decb9c222614b47cb7d67 ppcboot.img dd if=ppcboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=1k where sda is your usb storage device pop the usb key into your mac. Power up holding the option key (alt) down and you should get the graphical chooser. Choose the disk with the USB logo below it and the small tux log. Click on the -> arrow and it should take you there.
Commited fix to HEAD to leave device node so we can eject it.
Looks like we fixed this in FC-4. CLOSED -> CURRENTRELEASE ?
