[Bug 23445] Re: iMac G5 will freeze after booting up

[Mike Hore]

This looks like the same problem I'm getting, in trying to boot the CD
6.06.1 live image on my 1.6 GHz iMac G5.  After the initial series of
messages under the ubunto logo, the fans spool up, the screen goes black
and everything freezes needing a hard reboot.

I'm actually a bit astonished that this has been around since Oct last
year and still not fixed -- after all it's hard and reproducible, and
there are a lot of these machines out there.  The main ubuntu page
should have a warning saying it's currently incompatible with this
hardware.

The instructions in the link in the previous message may well be helpful
but as a Linux newbie with little spare time I don't really want to go
down that road.  I think I'll just come back in a month and hope
someone's fixed it.

Cheers,  Mike.
