trouble with install on 233 powerbook G3
I am attempting to install yellowdog linuxppc from the cd onto my powerboox g3. all goes well (booting, fdisk formatting, etc.) until i reach the step after "choose components to install." After pressing "ok" in the "install log" window to initiate the package installer, i get an error message. the system and install logs both have an error listed:
        4 VFS: can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev ide0(3,7)
what is going on?! i had a previous version of linnuxppc on this partition and when i originally installed yellow dog over it, i did not get this error (although i had some compatability problems) it was only when i completely repartitioned and reformatted my drive that i encountered this problem!
help!
