[Bug 1040544] Re: Installer dialog does not come up on PPC

[Greg Faith]

Okay I have the ATI Radeon RV250 on this PowerBook G4.

I can get to a clean live session with the following kernel command line

live video=radeonfb:1024x768-32 at 60

I can then make a clean install. but have no obvious graphics module in
lsmod.

sudo modprobe radeon    does get the module running and the helpers
modules.

On reboot ( as expected it is gone) 
 
sudo su
echo radeon >> /etc/modules
exit

and i have  bootable install with the radeon module and helpers in lsmod.
Hope this might help.
