I've just recently downloaded 6.06ppc. I am experiencing the same failure. I've attempted "live" boot and "live-powerpc64" boots. During boot I have observed a failure of pbbuttonsd. My machine is also a G5 1.8 Ghz (PPC G5 (3.0)) w 2G memory. At times during boot the fan revs up to high speed, at what point in the boot process it speeds up is not consistent. The crash occurs shortly after starting "initialize peripherials" of the kde startup.
