Fedora Core 4 on iMac G5

[Dominik Epple]

Hi,

since I found some questions about this with google, but no answers,
this might be valuable to someone...

This is about running Fedora Core 4 on the current Apple iMac G5.

There are reports of gdm freezing the machine. I experienced this also,
and furthermore random crashes while using the console only.

It turned out this was because of the bell of the shell... every attempt
to play sound made the machine crash. Disabling sound completely by not
loading the sound driver modules solves this. On fedora you can do so by
adding them to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

Have fun, Dominik.
