[Bug 1377878] Re: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

 

Walter and Boris, the "video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1" work-around
allows installation to complete on my hardware.  The installed system
even boots to the desktop.  If forgot to test it on the 2014-11-08 image
but remembered for the 2014-11-09 image

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
