Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.15-4
I'm trying to install Debian testing on a PowerMac11,2 (PowerMac G5,
dual 2GHz processors, January 2006) using a current etch d-i ISO.
From the boot screen I have tried
install64
install64 video=ofonly
These start the boot process which leaves some OF text on the screen
(black on white) and overwrites it with the following in a white IBM-
like font on a black background:
Found initrd at 0xc00...1736
trying to initialize btext ...
CF000100
MM Init
CF000100
MM Init Done
CF000012
Setup Arch
... and at this point the box (or at least the display) freezes.
After a short time the fan comes on.
The display adaptor is a PCI nVidia GeForce 6600.
