Hi,

downloaded the install universal livecd. I seem to have a problem as the
boot hangs while loading the kernel. I can just see few printk and then
it is like the video card and the display are being put to sleep. This
happens in very early boot stage, at openpic kernel messages. Tried
booting appending video=offb, but that does not help.
The machine is a Quicksilver G4, 867 Mhz, nvidia graphics (geforce 2).
Any hints?

Thanks

Hi,

I have exactly the same machine here but with an ATI branded video 
card. Could you try passing video=ofonly
