Fadi,
i tried Jessie on a Powerbook G4 15' (radeon) 1,67 and i could achieve
easy installation and also 3D accelleration with the help of this
section here
http://ppcluddite.blogspot.it/2012/03/installing-debian-linux-on-ppc-part-iv.html
Did not update to Sid , though.
Why, if ever, should one do that, at this point?
But i rememeber, on my Imac G5, Sid would work, but some things started
to become, strange and i reverted then. Could not remember though if it
was the Imac g5 with Nvidia or the Radeon G5 one.
Cheers,
Richard

Hello Carlos,
about booting on USB stick , I have tried installing sid (unstable) on
PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15' (radeon) and it works (somehow...).
(maybe it is the way you've written the ISO to USB drive...)
Here are the notes about the installation:
http://wiki.powerprogress.org/DebianPowerPcStartersManual#Installation_of_Debian_powerpc
Unfortunately - I think I'm having the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH issue (with
radeon).
Funny thing though, everything works just after the installation - but booting
the next day gets me into the black screen of death.
I'm doing the installation again this week-end, and I'll keep the logs for a
successful xserver start to compare them with the logs for unsuccessful start.
Good luck,
Fadi.

Hello guys,
now I have copied the ISO to a Firewire
drive.
First I got an error
during installation.
Then I typed
„install32 video=ofonly“
This worked :-)
But now I’m
hanging at „Detect and mount CD-ROM“ in the main menu of
the installer.
The installer said, no CD-ROM
drive found. Now he forces me to define the directory of the
driver. But I don’t know this.
A also can’t open the shell. Alt+F2 don’t
work.
Any advise,
please
