It sounds like you already had a working system, so this may not be of help.
But the two obstacles I ran into, running YDL 2.0 on a 7200, are these:
1. You need the kernel argument "video=platinumfb" in BootX. Without this,
my monitor went black too.
2. You need to use the BootX control panel, not the extension at startup.
