Description dehua.yang 2013-11-17 12:57:04 UTC
Description of problem:
I just booted my PowerMac G5 from Fedora-20-Beta-ppc64-DVD and failed. My computer has yaboot installed and a working copy of Gentoo ppc64. After the yaboot menu appeared I typed "C", the screen flashed and the yaboot menu appeared again. I typed "C" again, a message "Booting from CDROM..." showed, then a freezed blude screen. The computer fans geared up and became louder after a while, the only thing I could do was pushing the power switch for 5 secconds to shut it off.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora version 20 of Beta, dated at Nov 7, ppc64 DVD.


How reproducible:
Everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in the DVD in PowerMac G5 DVD drive
2. switch on the computer
3. type "C" key when yaboot menu just appeared

Actual results:
The computer freezed hard

The computer started installation
