I just finished installing Hardy, but now it boots and gives me a black screen.
Before it starts booting at the yaboot screen hit tab and then type: Linux nosplash video=ofonly
I'm running Hardy right not on an iBook G3 900mhz and it works really well (but I did install from a alpha release, things may have broken on the live CD since then)
Bog-standard iMac G3/500 with CDRW
1Gb ram, 120Gb HD, just Debian Etch on it
Various other Macs and i386's with mostly Hardy
