Request for Testing of Installer X Configuration on PPC

[Jimmy D.Burrell]

Jeremy,

Worked great on my old standby G4 system...

PowerMac 3,1
400MHz cpu 7400, altivec supported
motherboard: PowerMac3,1 MacRISC2
PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics

ATI Rage 128 PF/Pro AGP 4x TMDS


Never got to boot the kernel on my iMac G5 ....
Got this instead...  (this may be expected behavior for the 64bit G5 
though)

... ok
opening display /pci at 0,f0000000 /NVDA, Parent at 10/NVDA,Display-B at 1... ok
copying 0F device tree...done
Initializing fake screen: NVDA,Display-A
Calling quiesce ...
returning 0x01400000 from prom_init

Invalid memory access at   %SRR0:  00000000.01403b7c     %SRR1:   
100000000.00083030

Apple PowerMac8,1 5.2.2f1 BootROM build on 08/18/04 at 16:38:24
.

.
.
To continue booting type "mac-boot" and press return


Please find attached the OS X 'system profile' of the G5 if you need 
it...

I'll try my G4 Powerbook 1GHz when I get home.

Hope this helps,

Jim...
