Hi Rick, sorry, a little late.

I just tried installing the 2019/01/27 ppc64 NETINST-1 on my Powermac G5 7,3. It booted OK and went thru the preliminaries, but about the time it got to loading the partitioner, the windfarm fans started going crazy and I had to shut it down. I seem to remember that there was a module I could go to the <f2> console and modprobe that would control that, but I forget the details. Anybody got a clue they feel like sharing with me? Anybody else see this happening?
Yeah, just a few moments ago with a 11,2 type G5. After checking the `/lib/modules/4.19.[...]/kernel/drivers/macintosh` directory for possibly useful modules and not sure about which to load I went for `windfarm_core` and issued `modprobe -v windfarm_core` and thankfully the fans went back to normal. Maybe this will also work for your 7,3 type G5. Cheers, Frank
