Like several other people on this forum and others, I have been having problems installing FC5. I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with GeForce2 MX video card. I can boot from Install CD 1, but after loading 'linux' the screen goes blank and then it goes into standby mode (power light switches from green to orange). Following suggestions I have tried the following --
linux text
linux text video=ofonly
linux video=fbdev
linux video=ofonly resolution=1024x768
all with the same result.
I get the same result with two different monitors, a Mitsubish Diamon View 17" MEA 1770H and a BENQ 19" P992.
I am particularly suprised that the 'linux text' doesn't work.
Has anybody
successfully installed FC5 on a Quicksilver or similar hardware?
