have you compiled into the kernel a framebuffer device? I am on a
titanium PB G4 as got the same freeze point, and adding my video card
in Device Drivers -> Graphics ->Framebuffer Support (Or similar) under
kernel configuration solved the problem

Hello!
I am posting this to both gentoo-user and gentoo-ppc-user lists.
My problem concerns the installation of Gentoo Linux on my G4 iMac,
using the 2005.1 universal ppc disk.
I should first mention that I have done this before, using the 2005.0
disk, and there was no trouble whatsoever.
Now I have the same hardware and the same partitions. The install
process went smoothly to its end, the kernel compiled at the first
attempt, and the bootloader is well configured.
But when I boot and choose "l for Linux", I get this message (copied
by hand):
Please wait, loading kernel
Elf32 kernel loaded
Loading System.map
System.map loaded at 01700000, size:260 Kbytes
Opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/NVDA,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ok
Copying OF device tree...done
Calling quiesce...
returning 0x01400000 from prom_init
And then everything hangs; the only way out is to cut the power.
This is quite obscure to me and I am completely puzzled. I have found
this occurrence (or something similar) reported a number of times on
the Web, but without any useful answer.
Has anybody on this list got an idea? I shall be grateful for all
suggestions.
Charles
