I have a February 2005 G4 PowerBook with nVidia graphics chipset. The installer fails completely. If I just type 'install' at the boot prompt the screen goes black after the kernel messages and remains black with a small line prompt appearing in the upper left corner at regular intervals. With 'install video=ofonly' (or whatever the suggested alternative boot command was) I get a ton of DirectFB error messages that loop quickly. If it's helpful I can attempt to jot them down. Here is my hardware info: cerebus:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep motherboard motherboard : PowerBook6,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh cerebus:~$ cat /proc/fb 0 NV32 cerebus:~$ lspci | grep VGA 0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200] (rev a1) best regards Diego -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
