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.

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

The computer started installation
