My G5 has a known "phantom" port so I am testing with video=TV-1:d kernel parm. That was all that was needed to boot any live ISO prior to 12.10.
Lubuntu alternate ISO 20130412 GNU/Linux 3.8.0-7-powerpc64-smp ppc64 Unless otherwises stated, the forthcoming logs are booted with video=TV-1:d drm.debug=0x4 plymouth:debug . "splash and quiet" have been removed from yaboot appends. Machine boots Lubuntu to black screen with blinking cursor in upper left corner. ** Attachment added: "cpuinfo" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1061790/+attachment/3642693/+files/cpuinfo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061790 Title: misbehaving X on quantal ppc w/ nvidia geforce fx go5200 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1061790/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
