usplash not showing on edgy ppc on powerbook g4 17

So the uplash is there just no text scrolling?

Nope, The usplash does not appear at all. the underscorecursor blinks on
the top-left of the screen and the rest of the screen keeps blank until
gdm login appears.

This issue I've solved by doing the following:

1- Use the alternate edgy beta powerpc CD to partitionate hard drive
    with this I can get the partition for yaboot botstrap which can not
be created by Gparted.
2- as installing with the alternate CD produces those issues like no
usplash, no sound, then I use Desktop Edgy beta powerpc CD to install
again erasin the content of the partitions created by the alternate CD
but NOT TOUCHING any partition.

so there must be an issue with the contents of alternate and desktop
that makes both a bit tricky. A mix of them both should be the final
release. ;)

With these I get sound and usplash working properly. Wired network needs
to be tweaked by editing manually the file "/etc/network/interfaces".

Now I'm dealing with wireles, bluetooth and video out.

Thanks for your time.

Can you test this on the Edgy beta and also post the printout of:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

This will give us information on your specific model of PowerBook

Same problem with the edgy RC on my G4 with a radeon 8500

Please don't file multiple issues in a single bug report; it makes it difficult to track them and mark them properly. Your desktop CD installer bug is bug 43768 (and bug 66384, etc.), and should be fixed in the Edgy release candidate.

If the desktop CD gave you a working usplash but the alternate install CD didn't, then this would be the known bug in the Edgy beta that the alternate install CD didn't produce a correct /etc/usplash.conf due to tricky issues in installation ordering; this is fixed in the Edgy release candidate. Laurent's issue is probably something else and should be filed separately.

Hello Colin,

My apologies for mixing the two bugs. I was ill when answered both, so I
did it to leave the computer as soon as possible. Did not mean to harden
the process of solving the issue. From now on I won't forget this, and
follow the standard process.
Best Regards.
