System: G4 Mac desktop. (The G5 also needs to be booted in text mode, but that's because the generic video driver srambles the screen and not because it dies. I've a separate bug for that).

Is this not merely a side-effect of bug #149188 (rhpl sucks at setting up X on Macs)?
Was asked to try: linux resolution=1024x768 the server still crashed.
(In reply to comment #2) > Is this not merely a side-effect of bug #149188 (rhpl sucks at setting up X on > Macs)? It could be. After the install is complete the system comes up in graphics mode (but then suffers from bug #151379).
Calling this a dupe since I'm pretty sure it'll be better once we can do X config sanely *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149188 ***
