I have also had my issues with mandrake on the powerpc with regards to
installing on my blue and white g3 or my bronze g3 laptop.
I would much rather have mandrake then the mac os that is on it but
when I go to install it, the gui comes up all funky and when I try
installing in text mode it doesn't seem to install properly so when I
go to boot up it acts as if there is no operating system on the disk at
all. Or in some cases I get the same screen you do and nothing else
from that point either.
Is it that mandrake has problems with there installer for the ppc? Is
there an alternate way of installing?

Yo;
I just downloaded Mandrake 10.1 PPC and am trying to install it on my PowerMac
7300/180. It seems chipper; I've got Yellow Dog on it and want to try
Mandrake. BootX is configured with the ramdisk and kernal specified in the
documentation for the install... it seems chipper here, kills MacOS when I
click "Linux," blacks out the screen, the Mandrake logo appears in the upper
left-hand corner and...... nothing. Not a burp, not a bang. Frozen.
And help?
