Archppc won't install

I've been trying to install Archlinux ppc on my G5 single processor 1.6 with no luck. I can boot the cd and start the install without a hitch (arch64 or arch64-ofonly). It gets to udev and then the screen goes black, the cd stops and the fan goes crazy. I've been googling around with no luck (and on a side note I installed Yellow Dog with no problem). Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Re: Archppc won't install

I know that this is an older thread, but rather than open a new thread, I thought I'd bring this one back up. I'm having a similar issue with my G4 mirror doors with dual 1.25GHz and a GeForce 4 Ti 4600. I have had random errors with booting that got sorted out. I get to the Waiting for udev events section of booting to the installation when I get a black screen with "No signal" messages on the monitor. I've let it set for several minutes with no change. I just started trying to install this, so I'm using the latest version of the installer iso.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Archppc won't install

add "nomodeset" into the kernel line (not entirely sure. but im completely sure its in the 2nd line) in grub before booting smile

Is there a way to fix this in the installation? I know that you can insert options in booting. Would it be something like "arch -nomodeset" or something at the "boot:" portion of the installation?
