I seem to have a similar card: Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]
With the Alternate install I have to manually add options to the kernel to get the display to work. When you get to yaboot try adding 'video=radeonfb:1024x768-32' or substitute in the correct dimensions of your screen:
Code:
Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.16
Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
boot: Linux video=radeonfb:1280x854-32@60
If that works, then it can permanently be added in /etc/yaboot.conf:
Code:
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet splash video=radeonfb:1280x854-32@60"
Then set the changes
It's a lot of hoops to hop through, but the bug has been outstanding for a while. Fortunately, it can be left alone after it is set.
