Hi Mathias,
thanks for the report you've written after you have had so many troubles
with your PowerMac G4.
Of course, it is crucial to either use hard disk drives supported by
your early G4 Power Mac's internal PATA controller (i.e. devices
featuring a capacity of up to 128GB in early Power
Dear Sebastian Schroeer!
Your workaround is usable - at least partially. In general it is still
possible to have a bootable Debian beside a bootable MacOS 9 at the same
disk, as long as the Hard Disk is smaller than 128 GB. The last 3 days I
did 8 or 9 complete installations of MacOS 9 AND Debian,

It looks like installer creates MacOS 9 incompatible partition table,
but which works fine with MacOS X and Linux.
After partitioning a disk using default settings with MacOS X installer
CD I installed MacOS X on its third partition and MacOS 9 on its second
partition. Then:
- booted the machine
clone 604134 -1
reassign -1 os-prober
retitle -1 os-prober: Won't detect MacOS 9

I can confirm that os-prober takes a look at hfsplus partition
containing MacOS 9, but won't report installed MacOS 9. Cloning to

I did further investigations if other people had similar problems, and
indeed the problem occured several times. For example in 2008 here:

So it seems to be a common issue. But the solution which worked for José,
