The installation seems to go well, but when I get to actually booting

   Linux snd-powermac.blackist=yes
or
   Linux snd-powermac.blackist=yes video=radeonfb:1280x854-32@60

Neither do more than hang the system, though the get past the prompt for entering the passphrase if the disk is encrypted. Without the snd- part
the booting process crashes with the recursive fault error.

Is there anything else I should try to get the machine to boot?

I've been unsuccessfully trying to boot the Live CD for the last couple of days. I filed a bug report last night after running ubuntu-bug. The
url for the report is below. There are files attached to the report
which were automatically added by ubuntu-bug, which may give you some
idea of what's going on. (This is much above above my knowledge level.
I'm afraid I'm not even sure if I used ubuntu-bug correctly.)

Anyway, here's the url:

Do you think these problems are driver issues, or lack of memory?

Nio

I have 2GB memory (maximum for any Powermac G4), so it's not a lack of memory.

I don't possess the knowledge/Linux experience to diagnose driver issues.

I can say that the first obvious sign of a problem (to me) is when a network connection cannot be established. It tries twice, then times out and continues without one.
