lots of people have experienced problems with CS1.2 straight out of the
box. Myself included.
Use "no video" setting in BootX and try it without any kernel arguments for
now. Update the kernel to 2.2.15pre19 or newer - this one worked for me on
both a G4 and PB3400c.
try here for the latest kernel, also update system.map and modules.
