apple kernel ? that would be darwin. i think you mean linux kernel ?
i dont append any kernel options. you want open firmware framebuffer
and radeonfb or nvidiafb compiled in the kernel. not sure if
enabling the edid or ddc options will help. i dont have a mac mini,
just 2 ibook g4's, not sure how different they are.

there is also #gentoo-powerpc on freenode too :)
My question at this time is how to append kernel boot options in
/etc/yaboot.conf. When I boot the apple kernel from the Gentoo CD then
when it switches to (I guess) the framebuffer where I see Tux the text
on my monitor is jerky and not too readable. However if I use the
suggested version
apple video=ofonly
then the text is fine. Scanning around on the web I found this example
of how to do the same thing in yaboot.conf:
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r3
label=2.4.26-gentoo-r3
root=/dev/hda4
append="video=ofonly"
read-only
I have added this to my /etc/yaboot.conf file but the video is still
jumping around and isn't too readable.
None the less the machine is completely up and running and doing an
emerge -DuN system so this machine, which has sat on the shelf
untouched for over a year, is not usable hardware thanks to Gentoo.
Cheers,
Mark
