Hello,

Recently I bought an iBook G4 and now I want to dual boot Tiger and FC4. In the past I have used FC2-4 on the x86 architecture, as well as slackware, debian, and a few others without any major problems. I have already partitioned the drive (using Ubuntu), but when I boot up the FC4 CD #1 anaconda apparently does not recognize the LCD screen (cycles through red, green, blue, white, grey, black, rinse + repeat.)

I have tried using "linux", "/ppc/mac/vmlinuz", "linux reiserfs selinux=0", and "linux text." "linux text" worked to some extent, however when I go to boot into FC4 for the first time, I get no picture. As I have read in other posts, no one else seems to get this problem, so do any of you have any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

By the way, I have also tried it using an external CRT monitor.

I have installed Ubuntu on a G3 without any problems. I tried out Fedora, debian, suse, mandrake, and some other distro's they all had some problem. Ubuntu worked from the disk. Ubuntu with gnome has the same look and feel as Fedora. From all those distro's only ubuntu worked on any machine I had (even knoppix didn't)!
