BUG DUPLICATED Fresh install of FC11 with the new kernel on an ibook g4 1.33ghz shows the same screen. I'd post a screenshot, but it's the same.

I don't know why this is a low priority bug, as it completely breaks all ibook g4 installs of fedora 11. I have to revert to 10 on no less than three of my customers ibooks. Heres hoping a maintainer will give us an explanation. (In reply to comment #2) > I don't know why this is a low priority bug, as it completely breaks all ibook > g4 installs of fedora 11.

You can always boot the previous kernel. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 521703 *** (In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > > I don't know why this is a low priority bug, as it completely breaks all ibook > > g4 installs of fedora 11.

Yes, but due to the ppc anaconda bug (even full dvd's netinst, unless you use an additional dvd on an external as a repo) all NEW installs will fail. You can't set Anaconda to install a different kernel. Its a problem I'm facing on the systems of several clients....I've had to tide them over with (frown) YDL... |
