I apologize Keith. That same question drove me nuts when I first started. How soon we forget. /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/plymouth-debug.log dmesg at the prompt will spit out a lot of information. To capture to a file, at the prompt type dmesg > somename.txt If you have the luxury of a second machine, I highly recommend installing SSH and retrieving logs from a second machine. I prefer Putty for the client since you can turn session logging on and capture everything that way without having to copy files around. To view an existing file, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log for example. Good guide here on SSH: <http://www.ubuntulinuxhelp.com/how-to-ssh-on-ubuntu-a-simple-guide/> The Ubuntu-X folks have some great detailed information which has taught me a lot about debugging: <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging> I still have more than A LOT to learn though. >> No need to reinstall, but could you(or anyone with r200 radeon) try >> booting the live iso with "live radeon.modeset=1 video=offb:off >> video=radeonfb:off radeon.agpmode=-1" (that is negative 1 on the very > > > When I tried the above boot parameters with the live iso, I ended up at a > black screen, loaded with lines of text.

If so, that result would help confirm that snd-powermac may not be the main issue, but frame buffers instead. We may want to compare some of your files in /etc/modprobe.d with what Lars has from the alternate. BTW: I will be off line for about 24 hours. To put your machine back how it was, just add the params back in yaboot.conf.
