Public bug reported:
I attempted a fairly basic install using Edgy Knot 3 powerpc desktop CD.
I had to manually edit partitions to create a swap and ext3 partition:
the disk was previously partitioned using mac os x installer's disk
utility to have 10GB HFS+ partition first, then 10GB free space after.
During the gparted stage of the edgy install, it appeared that there was
128MB of free space at the front of the drive. I can't account for this
from my disk ultility activities. I thought perhaps it was just a macosx
quirk, or maybe that's where it hid it's swap partition (I'm not a
macosx expert).
I was given a warning message from the installer: "No NewWorld boot
partition was found. The yaboot boot loader requires an
Apple_Bootstrap partition at least 819200 bytes in size, using the HFS
Macintosh file system." Two options: Go Back, Continue. I opted for
continue to see what would happen.
Later, I received an "Installer crashed" window with a python backtrace
in it. I'll attach a screenshot of that, the yaboot message, and my
partman and syslog files.
