Description of problem: If i boot from the DVD, then linux starts normaly. After anaconda has check the system components it want to start the X-server. Now nothing happens. I can not switch to a console. I made a bug report on bugzilla.redhat.org. (URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157859) How reproducible: Try to install Fedora 4 Test 3 from a DVD on a PowerBook G4. Additional info: My system: PowerBook G4 - 1,5 GHz PowerPC 1,25 GB RAM 80 MB HD ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - 64 MB RAM

Possibly some additional information: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157965 In short: An older package version (taken from FC 3.91) works.
Finally found some time to investigate this a little bit. My system: Recent Apple Powerbook G4 15" (Powerbook5,6) with Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 The problem seems to be caused by a fedora patch. Namely this one: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/xorg-x11/devel/xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch Tried the latest development package (release 38) with the same results as before. After rebuilding the package with exclusion of the patch mentioned above everything works fine. This patch is not part of recent xorg sources. Perhaps this could be closed as "NOTOURBUG". I will file the same comment in redhat bugzilla.
Closing as per comment #4.
