Hello All,
 
    I am attempting to boot the install disc for SuSE Linux 7.3 PowerPC
Edition on an RS/6000 7025 F50 with a GXT120P graphics adapter installed.
The following are the actions I am performing:
 
1) Boot system and Press "F1" to enter the System Management Services
2) Choose multi-boot
3) Choose "Install"
4) Choose my SCSI CD Controller my pressing the space bar (The second CHRP
bootable Installation CD is in the drive at this point)
 
- A few kernel messages scroll past the screen far to quickly to see and I
am presented with the following. I have left the system running at this
screen for quite some time and it does not seem to do anything.

Welcome to Linux, Kernel 2.4.12

linked at          : 0xc0000000
frame buffer at  : 0xee000000
klimit               : 0xc03b5dac
msr                 : 0x00003030
HID0               : 0xf001c086
    

Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.
 
Thank you,
Christophe Banal
