Kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 takes too long to start in my Powerbook G4 15" 2005 model. I think is a problem with a video card. Someone experience the same problem?

Is possible to get a better video driver?. I saw ATI pages but there has a x86 drivers only :(.
FC5 ppc appear to be a very good distro anyway :).

Thanks in advance.

The 2107 kernel is buggy, so you're better off falling back to 2096 until a new one is released.

Again (and again, and again), this thread is huge and covers almost everything concerned with the kernel problems: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=107847 Therefore, I'm closing all other threads to concentrate the solutions in one place.
