From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050224 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.1 Description of problem: I installed the http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ tree (as of 2005/02/25) on a standard Mac Mini (256mb, 40gb hd) and ran across some problems. 1) Booting graphics mode only shows 640x480 pixels, top/left, which isnt enough for the graphics installation because the buttons arent visible Then I used linux text at the boot prompt and installed a Workstation setup without visible any problems. Upon finish I used an alternate console to edit /etc/inittab to enter runlevel 3 instead of 5 2) Booting the installed OS hard freezes the Mac Mini at some time 3) rgba shows always up even when I enter linux text again on the boot prompt 4) yaboot shows no Mac OSX option :-( 5) again the graphic boot progress shows only 640x480, top/left 6) "press I for single step" during boot doenst work, so I can not say which rc-scripts is responsible for the hardcrash. Sometimes booting runs though the graphic boot and then the screen turns gray blank, the mouse is moveable for a few seconds before the Mac Mini freezes. Other times the Mac Mini freezes while starting CUPS or other later services. Capslock on keyboard doesnt work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. installing .../development/ppc/ via NFS on a Mac Mini and ppc/boot.iso 2. boot using linux text, graphics mode only shows 640x480 3. booting installed OS hard freezes Mac Mini at some time, so far always before firstboot came up Expected Results: A booting and working Mac Mini. A Mac OS X boot option in yaboot. Additional info:
Assigning to rhpl for the moment for the X issues.
Please note it really helps to have seperate bugs for seperate issues. Please open a seperate bug for no OS X option - this is known but may not be in bugzilla check the fedora ppc tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=fedora-ppc https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/showdependencytree.cgi?id=fedora-ppc What monitor do you have attached to the mini. What is the output of kudzu -p -b ddc as root. We're looking at getting better video info out of OF which should help, but that may not be in test1.
Try to address some quick issues for the original bug reporter. 2) where does it hard freeze? 4) thats known. You need to edit /etc/yaboot.conf and add the macosx=/dev/hdaX bit yourself
2) did freeze usually after cups was startet, sometimes still while in the graphics boot progress, then later when the X server came up for firstboot.. rgba still shows just 640x480 during boot. I ran yum -y update almost daily and since 4, 5 days it wasnt freezing anymore, however X & firstboot etc. still dont work. The mouse appears and I can move it forever and a day, but nothing else happens. firstboot doesnt show any infos, just blank screen. 3) yes i did this and ran ybin and this problem was solved. kudzu crashed with segmentation fault, with out without the -p -b ddc parameters. Unfortunately I have to return the Mac Mini soon but I will dump here the /etc/sysconfig/hwinfo, lspci, current rpm list and the X output.

philipp, can you please retest for FC4t3? Most of this seems fixed with the release.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received the feedback we requested, we will assume the problem was not reproduceable or has been fixed in a later update for this product.
