Machine: iMac G4 Processor: PPC G4 Memory: Partitions: Frozen- can't use Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): Frozen, can't use Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: Installs succesfully, but then when it boots the screen segments and the top third appears to be washed out. Starting again but typing Linux video=ofonly freezes the entire screen during boot up. This appears to be the same problem that occured with Wheezy. The last time I had this machine working successfully was with Squeeze- it's been an extra computer that I occasionally tinker with and try different systems. It's something with the nouveau drivers and xorg. The discussion on the internet that seems to be the most helpful is here- that's where I'll go to troubleshoot if I can get console access at some point. http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=810&sid=ab2f4b311349f101c3819f3440c410d5
