I have a dual 1.8G G5 too, but I get the behaviour described by Jens: it boots but hangs around floppy detection (more precisely, I got that behaviour a few of weeks ago before leaving that machines for the summer). I reported the problem to this list and as a bug, and got a reply a few days later that it was fixed. So it does not appear to be a 1.8G vs 2G issue.
