Thread: 10.04 boot from disc blackSOD imac g4


assistance here? guide me right forum? new macs

trying install 10.04 on ilamp g4: 1g, 512 mhz, 80 g hd.

when booting cd, can hear disc spinning, ubuntu boot sound, , have black nothing on screen. no rainbow sparkles, no flashes, dead screen.

booting normal fine, no problems in os x

same disc installed fine on a similar model had 800mhz processor, 1 year older. forums graphics card can cause screen problems, total blackout before anything? if so, how tweak without being able linux prompt, etc.

nice.

since osx boots, may not resolution, had similar problems g4 cube "back in day". worked me reset pram holding down option, "open apple", p , r keys upon start-up , keeping them depressed until chimes rang second time.

other ideas: obtain alternate install iso same site (sounds booting "live cd") downloaded current iso, check md5sum, burn cd-r @ slow speed, see if boots black , white rudimentary yaboot display on screen.
