Hi, Anyone have issues with burning the 10.1 powerpc CD releases? Or maybe is there another boot sequence to use? This is for a mac G5 I verified the md5 for each iso, and can mount each iso by double clicking on its icon. I've used 2 optic drives and 11 CDRs trying various burn methods: disk utility, hdiutil, dd, creating a dmg from iso first etc and both iso's powerpc and powerpc64 Each time the burn seems too fast even though I chose the slowest 4x (and 16x) and the result is 0 files, the write is usually verified (unless I tried something crazy). Usually the write session would close almost as soon as it opened. The CD is usually bootable; but loader can't find kernel. In each case, disk utility reports CD has a capacity of 3.2MB and 647Mb used (700MB physical capacity) --slightly different numbers for powerpc Booting CD gives a "kernel not found" error. OK ls / / 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD 10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD OK _ boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:0 returns with something about ootoader not found boot cd:,/boot/loader cd:0 can't find .. boot cd:,/boot/loader cd:3 can't find .. ls /boot no such file or directory
