Hi Adrian, I am running a PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz (late 2005), 6 GB of RAM, NVIDIA NV43 (GeForce 6600).
I am able to get through the installer select screen when booting from CD, however after kicking the CPUs and saying it's done bringing them up, it will hang immediately and spin up the fans after a few moments. After selecting expert mode: smp_core99_probe smp_core99_kick_cpu smp_core99_kick_cpu done smp_core99_kick_cpu smp_core99_kick_cpu done smp_core99_kick_cpu smp_core99_kick_cpu done smp_core99_bringup_done Is as far as it gets. System is in a functional state and was running before today with kernel 6.10.12-1 ppc64, and after updating today on kernel 6.11.2-1 ppc64.
