Hello Fritz,
If I can remember your situation correctly, then you had chabged something and
system got into troubless.
First issue was your change of bootstrap to unsupported size, may be you had
not followed bootstrap but normal disk partition for data. You had confirmed it
with picture of standard disk layout with correct bootstrap.
Next issue was related to sound card, you got confirmation how to proceed with
loading of snd-aoa-i2sbus to confirm if that bug is only wrong i2s
autodetecttion in upstream kernel which becomes from migration from driver
snd-powermac to bunch of drivers snd-aoa-*. No feedback was received. That is
allready confirmed in HOWTO.
Another issue was regarding no network. On your notebook are two network cards.
Metalic sungem does not have issues on most kernels which I had tested, but
wireless b43 need to have active old fassioned driver. Again you got
information how to proceed, but no feedback was received.
But you had provided log from xwindow system with kernel argument to use open
firmware frame buffer.
Now you are informing about issues in kernel for Ubuntu Mate which difefrent
Ubuntu derivate than Lubuntu. I'm nor sure what you mean with that all
information.

@Peter:
Yes, my sense of humor is very sophisticated . . . very dry . . . . But, in
this case I'm not using it very well . . . or the joke is on me . . . .
However, I'm not sure that you understand how broken this system is . . .
sometimes I can boot the system and get to a TTY and others times not--due to
kernel dump/freezes. So, it's not like I have time to mess with you, the
system is messing with me, and, then I'm using what is very limited CLI
knowledge to try to do commands that will either fix the problems or provide
data that might be helpful to others . . . such as yourself. My time is very
valuable to me and this isn't really funny to me . . . it should be that since
PPC machines have stood still technologically for the last ten years that the
knowledge of what is needed to run them should be very clear--but nothing seems
to be further from what is happening with powerpc development, given the
evidence presented with this install of 15.04 PPC.
Yesterday I posted my situation on the Ubuntu-MATE forum and a few hours later I got a
reply from Martin Winpress, who seems to be the lead on the ubuntu + MATE team . . . and
he said, "There are serious big endian problems with Xorg 1.7, check with G+ to see
how other PPC users are using Xorg 1.6 . . . . "
So, that tells me that there are "big endian" problems with the system . . . and, that
seems to be including some issues with the installer, as well as the installed system--whereas the
live DVD appeared to be "OK."
Back to our conversation, first thing, "apport" was **not** installed with the system, and I spent some hours trying to find a similar bug or figure out exactly what is happening so that I could
"file" about it . . . . Is this a "syslinux" problem? Crash? Or, problem with a "package"?? Actually all of the above. So, taking time to again figure out that each time
the system is booted the ethernet connection is again "broken" and has to be "restarted" and then messing around trying to get a TTY to show up I installed "python-apport"
and "pastebinit" while I was at it. Then I tried to "apport-collect" to a bug number . . . .that attempt failed because there is no GUI to open Firefox. It is a "known
issue" that wifi is not included, and also, no sound. A new "error" listed pre-splash was "build/buildd/linux-3.19.0/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) ????
Along with the "i2c" error that showed up in 14.04, but which didn't seem to interfere wi
th running the system, perhaps relating to no sound?
Then I spent further time trying to find data on which "logs" would be helpful, because actually you didn't name any, you just requested "evidence" . . . . And, then I tried a test run of pastebinit to upload what looked like the smallest log, but one which multiple forum sites were requesting from people, the Xorg.0.log . . . . Which unfortunately didn't seem to show much, but I chose it rather than looking through 8000 lines of the other log, the kern.log . . . didn't seem to be any obvious errors there either, but is huge. Again, I asked you what files/logs you would want to see, but you instead have chosen to comment about my "sense of humor."
Much of this stuff I have also repeated, but I'm stating it again. 1. Problems with manual installer 2. GUI
gets to splash, then "freezes" 3. Once the GUI freezes TTY will not open 4. Booting into Single
user will also crash or screen goes black 5. If TTY can be opened from single user then
"dependency" problems are breaking the ethernet connection 6. Upgrading to new kernel (post
5/8/15 download) . . . did **not** fix any of the fore-going problems . . . . 7. It now appears to be known
that there are "big endian problems with Xorg 1.7" 8. Xorg.0.log did not provide any evidence to
any of these Big endian problems with Xorg 1.7.

Hello Fritz,
You had talked about issue with network, and you know how to activate b43legacy
driver. To confirm it you had provided random log, from X Window System
(graphics) where is no error reported.
I cannot understood your sense of humor.

@Peter, etal:
Got the /var/log/Xorg.0.log uploaded to paste.ubuntu . . . doesn't seem to be
showing anything too obvious to me that would explain why X is not loading . .
. . I looked through 8000 lines of /var/log/kern.log . . . nothing seemed to
be worth looking through there, plus it's 8000 lines long.
Any other logs you would want to see?

Thanks, I'll be back shortly . . . whenever I can get a TTY to open . . . .

Hello Fritz,
If you get that errors 20 times in a row, then you have clear way how to
reproduce it and also information about evidence (logs). That was what I had
asked several times, but nothing was provided.
If you will have it, then come back please.
