I tried installing it and just have a blank screen.
Using Control-Option-F1 I have a text console on the built-in display that
is displaying

I'm getting these about one every 10 seconds.
Is there a different video driver I can try? If so, how to I enable it?

Hi Steven
I've a different GeForce (6600) but Debian stretch (testing) with
4.5.0-rc2-powerpc64 kernel works for me.
You can get the kernel built by Peter Saidanas here:

OP did mention he was using 'powerpc' not ppc64 flavor.
But I am curious is the official debian kernel 4.5.0-rc2-powerpc64 not
working for you ? What's so special about the one from 'Peter
Saidanas' ?
Hi Mathieu
I wasn't aware there is an official debian 4.5.0-rc2 available but
confess I didn't look when I was trying to get my G5 up and running. If
I have time, I'll try the official kernel to see if it works here.
Regards
Clive
