I'm having problem with installation YDL2.0 to PowerMac7200.
When I launch installation with BootX, I can see correctly first screen
where kernel version is displayed in normal textmode. But after a switch
to a framebiffer video mode is the screen broken ... looks like there is
displayed just first half of all characters, in general the screen has
black vertical stripes and text is unreadable.
I tried to switch to another fb modes, but even video=platinumfb:vmode:5
(640x480/60Hz) didn't work.
What are the correct kernel FB parameters or is there a possibility to
turn off FB and do the installation in pure textmode ? (tried to load
kernel with video=nofb, but doesn't work)
My HW configuration is:
Power Macintosh 7200 series WGS 7250/120 133 MHz
video:
Card name: platinum
Card model: AAPL,343S1184
Card revision: 106764304
