Hi!
I had a black screen problem with a certain Nvidia driver in 13.10 (not
PowerPC).
I'd suggest you look at some of the WIKI
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#What_yaboot_parameters_should_I_use_for_graphics_problems.3F

This is a catch all that works pretty well to get you booted.
Linux video="nomodeset"

You can also look for an xorg file for your computer.

You can boot the LiveCD, and download the file, and save it as your
xorg.conf file and restart lightdm from a tty.  And your graphics will work.
