If I want to boot OS X, I hold down the option key to get Apple's option page and choose OS X from there. The bootloader in use-yaboot-works great for Ubuntu, but not for OS X. I'm hoping that that won't take too long-we'll see. However, upgrading from PowerPC 10.04 to 12.10 was a train wreck.Īs I said, I've got both working-OS X 10.5.8 and PowerPC 12.04.01-although I'm still trying to track down the resolution of the wireless / Broadcom / B43 networking issue. I tried PowerPC Lubuntu (note the 'L' in Lubuntu) 12.10 with miserable results.īTW, I also tried PowerPC 10.04 LTS and everything worked-everything. I used Disc Tools to adjust the partition to 1 TB (which you can do starting in 10.5.8 and up), and installed the Ubuntu PowerPC 12.04.01 version along side OS X in the remaining 1 TB partition. I had OS X 10.5.8 installed on a 2 TB drive. Think carefully about any virtual monitors that you may have created, or mirrored screens that you may have needed to set up for some reason. I don't know your setup, so I don't know if that's going to be a help or not. I got rid of the inactive one, and text appeared instead of going blank-as if to suggest that the installer was trying to write to the non-existent monitor. When my screen went blank it was because I had two monitor cards installed. Still attempting the install on your G5? I've got mine working-except for wireless.
