I'm trying to install Lubuntu 12.04 LTS on my iBook G4 as the OS X 10.4.11 really isn't all that great. I originally tried to use the minimal CD, but that failed as you can see by my question here:. I think that issue may be caused by this same issue, as there I believe there is no actual internet connection. So, I decided to try the full 12.04 CD, but I am now getting an error during the boot.stuff here (logo and other boot messages - all unrelated) *starting configure network device [ 110.081458] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file 'b43/ucode5.fw' not found [ 110.081669] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file 'b43-open/ucode5.fw' not found [ 110.081870] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to and download the correct firmware for driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on the website. This is most perturbing. There is a problem with the installation Kali Linux 1.0.5 32-Bit in graphical mode on an old laptop - does not find a driver for bcm4318 (b43/ucode5.fw b43-open/ucode5.fw). Eth-network adapter on the laptop is out of order. B43/ucode5.fw B43-open/ucode5.fw DownloadThis says that 10.04 works fine, but since 10.04 is EOL, I don't want to install it. This suggests using the LiveCD with b43-fwcutter driver and trying to push ESC during the boot to see any errors. Also, would pushing Shift during the boot help any? I probably will have to blacklist the b43 driver, but I'm not sure how. There is a bug regarding this here: and the suggested solution is blacklisting the driver in the kernel param string, but again, I have no clue how to change the param string. I'm going to research blacklisting a little more, but since I am using the CD, I can't download/install drivers, like I could on USB (my iBook refuses to boot USB, even with Open Firmware hacking.) EDIT: I have looked around for blacklisting This blog post: is exactly my issue, but I never get a Install/Disk Options screen. Would holding Shift during the boot allow me to get to this?
