Package: installation-reports Hardware -- Macintosh Power PC Beige G3 minitower and Mac PowerPC 6500
Software -- businesscard installation CDs for "beta4" and "20040530" downloaded from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/{beta4|20040530}/ I boot using BootX (since the boot floppy approach won't work on OldWorld machines now that miBoot is in the doghouse for being politically incorrect) I use BootX with kernel arguments "video=atyfb:vmode:3,cmode:16" and leaving the two check-boxes blank having to do with video modes. This setup has worked for me in the past. When I tell it to boot, I get the picture of Tux in the upper left part of the screen, and the rest of the screen is scrolling text from the kernel while it sets up the hardware. Then the suddenly (about the time I'd expect to see the first questions from d-i) the screen goes black. Option-f{234} keys will switch to the usual virtual tty screens, which show white text on a black background, pretty much as expected. On the "f4" screen, the last couple of lines are: main-menu[236]: DEBUG: configure cdebconf-udeb, status: 2 frontend: Setting debconf/language to en I get this behavior with both the Beta4 and the 20040530 "businesscard" install CDs. I've also tried various other video settings (with and without the BootX video-mode checkboxes) to no avail. I've tried setting DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium, and that didn't help either. Any suggestions?
