Neil, the boot process is slightly different on powerpc, but i think i
did effectively the same thing.
this still happens in herd5

investigating using aplay a bit more.
it seems that aplay can hang on any of the .wavs in /usr/share/sounds .
it is just far more likely to hang on long ones like login.wav

Adding
pnpbios=off
to the grub boot options resolved this issue and both logging in and
sound are working now.

pnpbios=off did not make any difference
(i used live pnpbios=off at the yaboot prompt)

Just to confirm what I did. Boot the CD, press F6 to display the boot
options which should look something like:
Boot Options root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash --
At then end of the line add pnpbios=off:
Boot Options root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash -- pnpbios=off
Then press enter to start

if i install herd 4 i still get the problem.
also
aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav
hangs
but
aplay /usr/share/sounds/logout.wav
plays fine.

on installed herd4 turning the startup sound off in the sound control
panel makes booting work.

I'm getting this problem with both the AMD64 version of herd 3 and the
i386 version of herd 4 after installing on a Compaq V3118AU.
I don't know if it's a related problem or not, but while this is
happening I'm also getting sound looping when the gdm login screen
appears.
I've found an alternate
this is possibly the same as Bug #40176

i have found that if i run
killall esd
when the live cd stops booting, then it continues, and loads the desktop
normally.

** Description changed:
when booting the herd 3 powerpc desktop cd, gnome
i tried with it plugged into ethernet, no improvement.
also tried with the 20070206 live cd, and it stopped loading slightly
earlier, no gnome splash screen.
i'll try again in a few days

Thanks but not that much info in it... something doesn't start but which

You can try to run ps ax from a console or try to boot while connected
to a network.

here is the output from ps aux. (with firefox and an xterm started).
there are no network problems. do you still think booting plugged into
ethernet will help?

I'm not sure, I can't reproduce it but I haven't a powerbook with a
working wifi.
From your ps output it's like something is holding a lock on bonobo
and doesn't release it (applets are missing).
i can connect to the internet over wireless.
i also found that non-gnome applications launch ok from the command
line. eg firefox, xterm
