[Bug 1194319] Re: Powerpc Live CD Hangs and doesn't complete booting

[James King]

Specifically, what happens in my particular case (I have a first
generation Mac Mini) is that the text Plymouth screen will change
background colors from cyan to black. Typically this is a sign that the
boot process is proceeding normally. Usually some extra text will show
up , but currently there is only the text "Lubuntu 13.04" and the
loading dots, which continue to change color from white to orange and
back again. On June 22, I let my Mac Mini run overnight to see if there
was some major slowdown, but when I awoke and turned on my monitor, the
loading dots were still dutifully changing color with no progress made,
so I did a forced shutdown from the power switch.

This does NOT occur to me with the daily build from June 13. I did not
test daily builds from June 14 through June 20, but since June 21, the
daily build has not booted properly for me.
