Package: pearpc
Version: 0.4.0-5
Severity: important
Hi,
I tested pearpc with video.x installed (and without also).
I was trying to install Debian Linux using this iso files
debian-31r8-i386-businesscard.iso
debian-40r9-powerpc-businesscard.iso
debian-507-powerpc-businesscard.iso
debian-testing-powerpc-businesscard.iso (debian squeeze daily image)
Non of above works.
I can start ppc, it detects bootable CD (but not 31r8, which is actually
bootable),
then Yaboot shows,
.....
..... Some debian info.

Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13
Enter "help" to get some basic usage information

i press enter, and after a moment it shows:

returning from prom_init
and then just loops, making CPU 100% loaded.
Nothing happens, so no installation possible.
I also tried video=ofonly, expert modes, multiple changes
in ppc.conf, etc. no difference.
I not tested yet any prebuilt HD images with debian.
Thanks.
