bus error
hi,
i have an powermac g4 and wanted to try install linux.
But if i proceed with installation often will be displayed an bus error / L1 cache error during machine check processing after that the powermac stoped working and hang up.
I have really no idea how that could happen...
If anyone can guide me how to solve maybe this problem it would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Possibly there's something a bit wrong with the hardware or the install media. Did you check the MD5 sums of your media? Was the machine running OS X OK before you tried to install Linux?
A bit more info on the distro you're trying to install would be helpful.
