I first tried a Lubuntu 16.04 install image but after = installing, I couldn=E2=80=99t get it to boot. yaboot would run and give = me a menu to choose linux but when I selected it, it just returned to = the mac boot menu. I think they got the open firmware boot command wrong = but I can=E2=80=99t figure out what they are calling since it goes by so = fast.=20 So then I tried various version of FreeBSD with lots of issues: Version arch status 12.0RC3 powerpc64 USB errors prevented keyboard = from working so couldn=E2=80=99t configure it 11.2 powerpc64 kernel panic on boot 11.2stable20181203 powerpc64 kernel panic on boot 11.1 powerpc64 kernel panic on boot 11.0 powerpc64 installed ok but portsnap = couldn=E2=80=99t fetch/extract ports 11.2 powerpc booted and installed ok. No = pkgs. portsnap fetch/extract ok So, I=E2=80=99m sure there=E2=80=99s no reason to open bugs on much of = this but it does seem odd that 11.2 release images don=E2=80=99t boot = and 11.2 stable images don=E2=80=99t boot. I=E2=80=99m happy to just use 12.0 and so I=E2=80=99m planning on just = opening up a bug report on the USB issues there. Anyone else seeing this on 64-bit? Thanks, Tom
