Step by step notes for installing Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy on PPC computers. These steps have been tested on the following Macintosh models:
PowerMac Quicksilver add additional models here
1. Start by installing Gutsy using the Alternate install cd. Installing from the Live CD is trickier and doesn't always work.
2. Reboot when prompted by the installer. The first reboot can take a VERY long time. Be patient. Eventually the BusyBox prompt will come up.
3. At the BusyBox prompt type the following:
> modprobe ide_core > exit
If there is a zip drive installed and the blank prompt doesn't appear again, hit <return> one more time before typing > exit.
4. Press <Control>+<Option>+<F1> BEFORE the log in screen comes up. This will bring up the terminal without loading Gnome.
5. Log in with the username and password used during the install.
6. To prevent some bugs from becoming an issue, set the hardware clock to UTC:
$ sudo date -u mmddHHMMYYYY $ sudo hwclock -uw
7. Edit modules to include ide_core:
$ sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
add ide_core to the bottom of the list.
press <Control>+<O> to save then <Control>+<X> to exit.
8. Add snd-powermac to kernel modules
$ sudo nano /etc/modules
add snd-powermac to the bottom of the list
9. refresh modules changes to the initramfs file:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
10. Resolve splash screen resolution issues
11. Fix sound issues by installing smp kernel
$ sudo apt-get install linux-powerpc-smp
12. reboot system:
$ sudo reboot
