I dont think taht its the ATA controller taht is the problem here... I tried leo on my B/W with G4 and it starts to boot the OS but panics right after the little spinning thingy appears uder the apple logo... in verbose mode it says something like "PowerMacintosh 1.1 - platform not supported"... so i guess there has to be done some major worl to get it running on there... :/

still have to try it on my beige...

but if it even wont work on a B/W?

what confuses me a little bit is that it runs on G4 upgraded iMacs, because their architecture is more similar to the older architecture of the beige... whereas the PISMO is more similar to the B/W... ?
