I recently repartitioned my imac to make 3GB of space free to install Xubuntu PPC, it installed just fine.
But when I boot it up, it just stops at the (initramfs) screen.
I can get past this by typing 'modprobe ide-core' and then 'exit'.
xubuntu loads up really slow, then runs at normal speed at the login screen, i put in my username and password and it takes about 10 minutes to a half an hour to log me in.
Then when it's loaded up i move the mouse and it takes about 15 seconds for the cursor to move. From what i can see, the screen refreshes every 15 seconds or so.
I have been using linux for a while and though i dont consider myself an expert, i know a bit more than most computer users.
The graphics card is an ATI RAGE 128 Pro if that helps.
Any help with solving this issue would be appreciated greatly.
