Linux on Powerbook 12" 1.5GHz

Hello all

I'm trying to install Gentoo Linux on an Apple Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz. When I try to boot using yaboot, the bootloader get stuck on "Loading stage 2 ... blabla ..."

Yes, I do use the Gentoo PPC 2005.1 universal LiveCD. But I fixed it by downloading a .config from a dude who installed it too.

Now the only problem is the bcm43xx driver. But I'll try to fix it myself. Thanks anyway for the reply.

Yours

Tonny
