Hi,

testing the newer version of Karsten's ppc64 iso (20110916) there is a
problem while linux is booting the system.

The error message is the following:


drm nouveau 0000:0a:00.0:
Detected an NV40 generic card (0x047dNa1)

fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs OFfb NVDA,Displ - removing
generic driver


Then the linux booting stop. I can wait a while but nothing change.

My video card is a Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 with 1GB RAM (it was originally
a windows PC card but is self flashed with a Apple Firmware to work on
my PowerMac).
The last Fedora 16 iso I have tested was the version 20110907. These
version boot correctly (without these conflict) on my PowerMac but shows
the known "installer needs Fedora Disc" bug.

best, Marko
