different machine (powerbook 6,8), same problem here. It happens with the 2005.1 install disk, and also with many kernels between 2.6.12 and 2.6.14-rc3. For example, with 2.6.14-rc3, "video=ofonly" gives me something like the above message and so does "video=rivafb". "video=nvidiafb" makes the machine poweroff instantly. There were reports of a similar problem with a recent Fedora Core install disk. On the Powerbook6,8 the kernel got up to "setup_arch: enter" and stopped. -- Guy Yasko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
