[Bug 23445] Re: iMac G5 will freeze after booting up

I'm using an iMacG5 Rev A, 17inch.

Incredibibly the LiveCD for Edgy Knot 1 boots, Gnome comes up, and for
the first time ever I also have sound under a linux system.

Unfortunately, the thermal/fan control still isn't enabled (it's a
kernel option!) and my native screen resolution wasn't recognised
(though the work-around for Breezy resulted in native screen resolution
so I think this may just be a problem with the LiveCD).

Anyway, it seems to me the initial problem for all systems has been
fixed with the latest kernel. What still needs to be worked around is
X-Windows configurations for the Nvidia and ATI chips, as well as the
thermal control.
