This sounds like an X problem. Some have had them befor on Mac's: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/007may05/features/mac-mini/ Above is an old article and the part about the Boot X option is there. Below is the link to the FC5 installation guide. Please note the display and X options under "boot options" (near the end). "lores" or the "1024x768" look like some to try or maybe even choose "text mode" and handle the X issues later. You probably would do well to study the video hardware inside your computer and display hardware to tell X what it needs in /etc/xorg.conf, assumeing the PPC file structure is the same. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/ Below is a link to a "Fedora Core on PPC" mail-list: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ppc And I noticed what follows in the archives: On Fri, 2005-10-21 at 09:35 +0200, Luca Gallicani wrote: >* Hi everybody out there, I'm trying to install fedora over my powerbook *>* [a 15'' powerbook titanium *>* with a PowerPC G4 667MHz, 512 MB SDRAM PC133-333 and *>* an ATY-RageM6 Video] but every time I fault using the graphic install. *>* *>* I hope somebody could help me. * Try booting the installer with linux video=ofonly Paul You may find more help on that list, and I hope I have been of some help here.
