Re: Debian 8 on Late 2005 G5, Graphics Issues
Peter, I did a fresh install of Jessie with LXDE and then installed the kernel image and headers you uploaded on my G5 (11,2) with a Quadro FX4500 Nivida card. After adding an entry in yaboot.conf and running sudo ybin -v, I rebooted successfully to the login screen without having to pass in any yaboot parameters to disable acceleration. As also explained, the G5's fans did spin up and out of control after a couple of minutes, but loading the i2c-powermac module resolved that issue. I can also now use both 20" Apple Cinema Displays side by side, whereas before I could only have them mirror each other. Trying to place one monitor to the left or right of the other caused me to be logged out of my session. Let me know if you need any more information about the process or my system and configuration. By the way, I happened to notice a G5 page size bug is noted on the Nouveau websites under their DRM To DOs. http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ToDo/ Anyways, I'm super stoked the 2D driver is working. Now if I could only get 3D acceleration! Thanks,.

Bug#790722: mkinitramfs fails with latest udev (>= 220-7) on some systems
Incidentally, I have now filed a bug report against udev also. The udev bug is what caused me to switch back, temporarily, to specifying partitions via a traditional block special file name instead of by uuid. Doing so exposed this bug in initramfs-tools. The bug number for udev is 790823, in case you're interested. -- .''`.
