i did need to create an xorg.conf, but that has been my experience with this nvidia chip. beyond that, no problems with install or boot. i should point out that i am using the smp kernel by no choice of my own. mayhap this is why i lack the problem. for those with the problem, i suggest trying either of the following at the yaboot prompt: 1. Linux single 2. Linux recovery the former goes straight to the root prompt, while the second will offer a menu of options like normal recovery. if that still fails, you should be able to use recovery from another desktop cd/dvd. even an old one. just get in there, set up networking if need be (when i tested Linux single, it was already set up), and have at it. in any case, for me at least, not a bug, which is a total relief because, imho, nvidia depends upon alternate for quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066435 Title: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
