I had a similar problem when installing 2.4.something on my PowerMac |
| 9 |
8600. The first few lines of the boot sequence would show up, and then |
| 10 |
nothing else -- the screen did not go black, but nothing else displayed. |

By some blind typing I was able to log in and start sshd, and therefore I |
| 12 |
was able to log in from another machine to experiment. (BTW, the very |
| 13 |
first time you start sshd it may take several minutes until it is active, |
| 14 |
because it has to generate some keys. After that first time, it's almost |
| 15 |
instant.) |

If I remember right, the problem was that I had not enabled framebuffer |
| 18 |
support in the kernel; after building a new kernel with framebuffer, |
| 19 |
everything is normal. I can send you my working kernel config tomorrow |
| 20 |
if you'd like... it's too late tonight to boot that Mac up. :) |
