Hi,

I have begun to try and install CentOS 4 on my macbook G3. I get all the way through the install process and then after a reboot, my macbook flashes a folder icon and a question mark. Nothing else. Does anyone know what I need to do to mac it start the boot process?

I created my root directory /, boot directory, home and swap in disk druid. The rest was a standard install.

Thank you

Well, CentOS 4 is old...the latest is 5.3 I believe, so if this is a new install, get the latest version, and save some headaches later.

Should help get you going. I'd also not partition the disk with any other tools, but let the installer do it for you.
