I just got Fedora Core 4 loaded on my powerbook. So once it boots up initializes the hardware and then the screen goes black and I can't get it to do any thing else. I know that it is in the config for the video but how do I get to a place that I can fix it?



Boot it into text mode ('linux 3' at the yaboot prompt) and it shouldn't start X. If that doesn't help, it may be a problem with the framebuffer console...

In the future it would help to have more details on your hardware to aid
in diagnosing the problem. Tell us things like what video card and CPU it has. :)
