Fortunately, I have another partition on the same computer running powerpc 12.04 which i am using right now. It surptrised me to see that this bug made it through from the 12.10 installation as I thought my 12.10 froze to soon. Need to mark the install attempt as a failure on qa-tracker and tie it to this bug.
Zsynced Lubuntu desktop powerpc 12.10 dated 20120920, dd the iso to a USB and booted through OpenFirmware with the following command: boot usb0/@1:2,\\yaboot Set kernel mode on yaboot: video=offb:off video=radeonfb:off video=1024x768-32 radeon.agpmode=-1 The normal kernel mode: live (does not get a working install due to poor graphics) Install appeared to go well with good graphics during the install. Then as I was testing the browser (firefox) the computer freezes, flashes to a tty screen scrolls and closes very quickly. I can get to the kern.log if needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054009 Title: radeon kernel bug G4 PowerBook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1054009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
