This is the good news. Powerbook G4 (1280x854 8-bit): first screen and a half of kernel output displays OK, although the cursor is bright cyan instead of light gray. The system then freezes completely. G5 iMac (1680x1050 8-bit): Screen turns black. Letters visible periodically underneath the cyan cursor. System eventually freezes completely. All three systems work fine with the old ofwfb (though the very slow scrolling makes booting take twice as long as with syscons) and I'm a bit at a loss to debug this correctly. Any ideas? -NathanReceived on Sun Jan 19 2014 - 02:11:09 UTC
