| I recently became the proud owner of one of the new G5 iMacs, and I wanted to put Linux on it. But for some odd reason, it simply refuses to boot. I've tried Ubuntu Breezy ( livecd ) and the Fedora Core boot CD. ( and for the record, they ARE the PPC isos ) It looks like Breezy doesn't like my video card, an ATI Radeon X600 Pro. It starts to boot then it drops me into open firmware, which becomes completely unresponsive. I think the graphics driver/my graphics card causes an unexpected kernel trap ( I'm not entirely sure what that is, if some one would like to enlighten me ). I think this because that's essentially what the last error message says before the crash. Has anyone else tried to run linux on a mac? Let alone the new iMac? Is there something unbelievably obvious that I'm missing? It's probably just an issue with the kernel not liking the card because it's so new [ that's an assumption on my part.. it might just be an old weird card ] and no one has had a chance to write a proper driver for it. Any ideas? -- kyle |
