Asked by Ron Mitchell

Machine: eMac G4 PPC - 1.12 Ghz G4 processor, 1 Gig RAM 80 Gig hard drive. Using entire internal HD for installation of Lubuntu Alternate PPC 12.10

Installation of yaboot loader failed. Instruction was to check /var/log/syslog.

Attempted to install yaboot again /dev/sda2. Attempt failed.

Continued the install without the boot loader

Was able to reboot the system with arguements from boot

/boot/vmlinux /dev/sda3

Boot of gui failed, but <cntl-alt-F1> succeeded.

I was unable to report the bug fron the computer where it occurred.

Ubuntu-bug --save=/var/log/syslog

yielded only "No pending crash reports.

Also attempted <Ubuntu-bug ubiquity> and <ubuntu-bug installer> neither command succeeded.

I am having also Yaboot Failure when using 14.04.x Lubuntu to install on a 2nd Harddrive . Debian Wheezy 7 (which would be close to Ubuntu 12.04) installs fine.
