Rick,
You cant get nouveau working with your current kernel. Period.
It doesn't matter what kernel options or module options you pass,
nouveau with acceleration just doesn't currently work with a 64kb
pagesize kernel.
You are falling back to the openfirmware framebuffer. I have told you to
disable nouveau because it just wont work with your current kernel
config for xorg, but for the console it doesnt matter.
Please install the kernel deb package for 3.18.16 i have provided from
the link i have given previously.
It has been configured to work immediately without requiring any kernel
options appended and even doesnt require an xorg config.
The beauty of KMS!
After installing the kernel deb files, create a new kernel boot entry in
yaboot.conf and run "ybin -v" afterwards. Make sure you re-enable
nouveau by taking it off the blacklist and only add modules
"snd-aoa-i2sbus" and "i2c-powermac" to /etc/modules. This should get
audio along with windfarm running. Update your initrd by running
"update-initramfs -u".
Reboot to the 3.18.16 kernel you just installed. It should just work!
If you are hell bent on getting the latest kernel running, i can try
building the absolute latest stable kernel. The most recent one i have
tried successfully is 4.0.2 but if you want something even newer, ill
look into it.
Cheers,
Peter
Install the kernel

You would be better off not appending any options to yaboot.conf and
blacklisting nouveau for now.
I’ll give that a try!
Here’s what happens when I blacklist kernel module nouveau and set the append
in yaboot.conf to just plain “ ro”. I’m attaching /var/log/dmesg and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log incase they have clues. I notice some mentions of
“nouveau” in the Xorg.0.log file. Is this expected?
Thanks!
Rick
