  1. Getting Ubuntu Linux Up and Running on a PowerPC Mac Leaman Crews - 2005.12.14 In last week’s column, I outlined the requirements for setting up a useful and fast PowerPC (PPC) Linux desktop, and I’m going to start with what I consider the best of the bunch.
  2. See how well Ubuntu Linux runs on your Mac. You needn't throw out the baby with the bathwater and wipe your old Mac's hard drive clean before trying it out. All you need is a USB drive of a least 2GB in size and an internet connection to get started. Here's how to do it. Get your USB drive ready. Backup your Mac. Launch Disk Utility.
I hope to find the PPC guru's out there that can help me get CentOS7 running on my machine.
I assume the correct version of CentOS7 1511 PowerPC is Big Edian and not the LE version
I have tried to boot both the Everything ISO and NetInstall ISO

Best Linux Distro For Mac Powerpc G5


My PowerPC firmware will not detect the CD as bootable and I have tried burning the CD/DVD on the local PowerMac(Mac OS X 10.5.8) with the sourceforge program BURN as well as on my MBP running Mac OS X 10.11 using BURN there as well. When I download the .ISO should I be able to double click on the .ISO and have Mac OS X mount the disk with no errors? I seem to ONLY be able to mount the NetInstall cleanly, FYI.
The machine is a dual processor 2.0GHz PowerPC G5, 8 GIGs of DDR2 RAM, 160 Gig intel 320 SSD running Boot ROM Version 5.2.7fl
I can boot Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit and I can get to the partition spot but cancel out as I do not want to wreck my Mac OS X install with ubuntu. LOL
I can boot into OpenFirmware O+F+Option+Command at boot up b4 the chime. Here is what I have discovered so far:
if I have issues I can do a reset-all to get the OF to a default state.(has not helped the issue)

takes me to the boot menu with a black screen where I can pick 'Install CentOS AltArch 7 (64-bit kernel)' and I pick that
If I wait too long the fans kick up to 100% like something has crashed
after a few seconds I get this screen and assume it means I have a crash and waiting forever will not boot Linux

nothing but fans from here on out no matter how long I wait. I have tried to boot with USB thumb drives, using my MacBook Pro and unetbootin to create the image, I have tried using DD, I have tried to figure out the OpenFirmware to tell it to boot the second partition on my PowerMac and I have tried using a firewire disk with the CentOS on it from a DD.
Is there something else I should be doing to try to get my PowerMac G5 to boot CentOS7 1511? Is there a way to boot my Ubuntu 14.04 CD/DVD and then launch the CentOS boot files? Normally Ubuntu uses yaboot so it that possible to boot with the Ubuntu disk and load/launch the CentOS install.
I am sure I downloaded and used the 32 bit image as I originally downloaded ubuntu for my 32 bit Mac Mini G4.Mac
